...looking over the number of names entered for Memorial Hall next year, we were surprised at seeing no more than a hundred. We attributed this lack of interest to a state of doubt on the part of some students as to whether the fare at four dollars a head would be satisfactory. There is no positive need that four dollars should be the limit of board. An arrangement might be made to supply extra dishes at so much a head to tables wishing them. In this way the price of board would not be increased, and those willing...
...only in lectures and textbooks. And this preparation is at the expense of laborious grinding. One of the famous German Etymologists will lecture hours on the subject under consideration, but if questioned on extraneous matter, he is altogether at a loss till he has his notes. There is no doubt that the training of memory is a good thing, but it should not be cultivated to the exclusion of other faculties. No more would I desire the student to be utterly dependent on his notes. Without a general knowledge of his subject his notes would be of little avail...
...devoted considerable attention to its study and performance. Edwin Booth's rendering had been for many years unequalled and perhaps unapproached, and when we heard of the new actor, whose light hair and broken English had won such triumphs abroad, all were impatient to make the comparison, confident, no doubt, that Booth's glory could not fail to be increased by it. Fechter came well advertised to this country, for his arrival was preceded by a letter from Charles Dickens, who seemed fairly carried away by the man's conception of the part, and perhaps a little anxious withal, lest...
...Harvard Magazine was very heavy and very literary. As the present papers took warning from it and avoided that extreme, the result has been that they have met with the most perfect success. If the reading-room would in the same way take warning from "history," there is no doubt that, in proportion as it afforded liberty and comfort to its frequenters, it would increase both their number and their interest...
...Sophomores favor, to a man, any method that gives them a choice before the Freshmen. The Freshmen are rabid communists in the matter, firmly believing that it is the height of injustice to permit any one to secure a room before they themselves are served. Although there is no doubt that, if all the complaints and suggestions of the undergraduates were listened to by the Faculty, that honorable body would have little peace, yet I think any one who is unprejudiced will acknowledge that the present method of assignment fails in the first object of all these systems, namely...
