Nothing can effect so great a revolution as this last improvement. Harvard can now outrival the German universities. More time can be found for original work. The Juniors can be enabled by this improvement to petition for sixteen hours a week instead of twelve, and that the requisitions for a degree be raised. Or better still, let the Harvard(?)
