...safe to assert that it would be difficult to find a more uproarious place at night than the environs of Harvard, and especially of Harvard square. The noise and clamor continue until alter midnight. It is a mixture of noises compounded of passing bands, cheering, yells and street car bells. There is at least one sufferer who has found scarcely any sleep, or opportunity or mood for study for the last two weeks. Cambridge outrivals some of the worst cities of the west. This is an unfortunate fact, especially after what has been heard of Eastern culture and refinement...

So we estimate our own lives not at all as aggregates...
...members of that elective received in their freshman year, and their average marks in the elective. Some electives might thus be valued as high as 120 per cent., others as low as 80 per cent., of the standard course. But the adoption of the plan would at once alter these figures. Students would prefer three and a half hard courses to five easy ones; the standard of the one must fall and the other rise...
