...time of sittings for "group" photographs has come at last. The first notice of the season for a sitting is published in our columns this morning, and other notices of the same sort will probably follow in rapid succession. Some men take pleasure in sitting for photographs; to them we need give no urging. But many more either are quite indifferent to sitting, or find it an irksome task. To such we say only this. Failure on any one's part to comply with the requests made in the notices of the different secretaries of clubs and societies, not only...
...obtained scholarships in Political Economy, and as the socialists took the greatest interest in that subject, his party embraced the leading socialists of the hall. The party consisted of four Germans, two Russians, two Roumanians, and one representative each from Poland, Switzerland, Greece, and America, and a wild fantastic group they made, both in appearance and in opinions.

...year's progress. The University is beginning to get settled in its present courses and methods, so that less and less change from year to year will be necessary. It has ended the conflict between prescribed and elective courses in the collegiate department by the substitution of the "group system," which has been adopted at Bryn Mawr College. Almost every young man will find that one of these seven avenues to a Bachelor's degree will prevent him from wasting time, and he has more than sufficient choice of studies to make it certain that he is not asked...
