...collection of "Notes and Comments on famous Works of History and Fiction in the Harvard University Library,"-the basis of the work to be the extremely brilliant and exquisite marginal notations that have in past years accumulated on the pages of the different works. Such a collection would doubtless meet with a great deal of favor-with as much favor, possibly, as the notes themselves in their present written form have met with. It is refreshing-to the reader (to him especially who aims at becoming a "full man," as Bacon puts it,) to find here and there the very...
...vote of the conference yesterday afternoon, that even deliberative conferences would be advisable, probably secures the continuance of these meetings, whatever may be the outcome of the discussion at the adjourned meeting. This is a good move, and one which will doubtless meet the approval of the students. Even without executive power, such meetings can effect much good in keeping the two bodies, faculty and students, informed of each other's position on all points of mutual interest...

Examinations may, and doubtless do, have their advantages, but the idea of giving a man the mark for his year's work on what he can write in a few hours, is simply absurd.

Sub-freshmen don't properly belong in college, but sub-freshmen in the sophomore class! What does it mean? A freshmen proper is expected at the beginning of the year to appear a little verdant, as they say; indeed he is not to be blamed for it. But when the freshman has become a sophomore he is supposed to have...
