Malign our lodgings, (if you can, in the face of such enormous advantages) Never visit them. It is not that. We neither heed calumny, nor need attention. It is the failure to realize their existence that appalls and sickens us. Ignored by the powers who appoint a proctor for every dormitory, unmentioned by that great work "Information in regard to the Freshman Halls with Floor Plans and Prices," forgotten by those who decree that every Freshman Dormitory shall have a representative on the Union Committee (of all things), we should almost welcome even adverse comment.

Until such changes are made every college, Harvard included, will stifle under the incubus of elementary or survey courses, the English 28's, and History 1's, and German.

...general enunciation of the principle and essence of Classic civilization and culture. It is not likely that much would be lost by not doing the reading in the original, for in a course of this sort only the most important men would be read and for them there exist admirable translations; many of them possess intrinsic literary value of their own. Because of this and because of the broad general scope of the course it would prove worthwhile to men already well versed in the Classics; in fact, these men would derive the most benefit from...
