...criticism of the English department recently published has excited wide comment. Nor can we deny that the comment has not been wholly favorable to the department criticised. The English department is, as all must know, in a far from prosperous condition, if we are to judge prosperity strictly by compactness of work. No one at present contends that an ultimate basis for thorough university work in English literature has as yet been attained at Harvard.

Class day is very cleverly described in the article by an abstract from a previous article by Mdlle. Ladregt on the subject. The article in the Revue ends with a comment upon our freedom in studies and now recent freedom in regard to religious teachings. Altogether it is a very comprehensive and unbiassed statement, and will be found to be very suggestive reading...
