...next charge made against our system is that students who follow consistent courses, may become "onesided and erratic." This charge again is true, and in its truth do we find the excellence of our plan. When a student has acquired a certain roundness, it should be the next step for that student to develop some especial talent with which he is endowed. This is made possible in a greater degree under an elective than a prescribed system, and in this possibility of "one sided" intellects becoming still more "one sided" is the virtue of the new regime...
...complaints are unjust, and that the authors of the new rule have shown their real regard for the student's interest by thus depriving them of that time in which many men against their better judgment, unfit themselves by hard study for the three hours' work which is to follow. An examination in Philosophy or Political Economy, for example, requires that the physicaland mental condition of the student should be excellent, and that all his faculties should be on the alert, if good results are to be won.

We are sorry, however, that they did not see fit to follow our suggestion, and assess the cost of the banquet upon the entire body of members, instead of defraying the expense from their own pockets...
...restricted by some restraining influence. While it is of course granted that some change should be made in the work necessary for a degree of A. B. in many of our colleges, it is doubtful if many college faculties in the South and West are at present willing to follow the radical lead of Harvard. It is to meet the objections of these faculties that Pres. Gilman's plan has been devised. This plan would, however, act as a restraining influence in more ways than one, if it were adopted by some of our smaller colleges. But it would tend...
