...have been established, wholly or in large part as experiments, which are important because they introduce into undergraduate work an entirely different method of study from that hitherto pursued. These courses are open only to graduates and to 'undergraduates of high rank or special promise,' and are intended to afford an opportunity for the special investigation of topics under the guidance of an instructor...
Without going further, then, we can see no harm in permitting 'competent students' - who only, according to the words of the announcement, are to be afforded the privilege of entering these courses - to take two courses of this kind.

This year they afford quite as pleasant and gratifying reading as the Harvard mind can wish for. Even the Cricket Club has victories recorded to its credit, and helps to swell the loud-echoing paeans of Harvard's successes...
