...evening readings which began two weeks ago have proved as much of a success, so far, as the originators could possibly wish. They have been attended by large audiences, made up principally of undergraduates and partially of professors, students in the various schools, and residents of Cambridge, including some ladies.

But the inherent defects of the '75 system are such as to make it only good as a temporary expedient, and such an expedient was absolutely demanded by the peculiar nature of that class. The system employed a year ago was generally recognized as a decided step towards open elections, in the best sense of the term, and as such was heartily welcomed by Harvard men. Yet this system contains much of the evil that existed in the old system of former classes, without catching much of the justice...
