...This would seem to indicate that Phillips Andover is rapidly deserting Yale with its somewhat antiquatedor, at least, inflexible-curriculum, for the broader opportunities for study offered by Harvard. Whether or no the change is a permanent one the future will decide. The cause, though, is not so hard to determine. So far as we have been able to judge, the underlying motive which influences our students to choose Harvard is mainly the advantage offered by the elective system. We think, moreover, that this is recognized by our faculty; for within two years the courses of study here...

These two courses cover contemporary periods in the history of Europe...
Yale is trying hard to establish an illustrated paper which shall rival the Lampoon. Yet, although their efforts may eventually prove successful, the project meets with much opposition. This shows the small influence which the Yale Art School has had upon the mass of students. Although it is deemed of enough importance to be established as a separate department, it has really exerted less influence than our courses in Fine Arts under Professors Norton and Moore. The influence of these courses upon the Lampoon has been considerable,-some of the men who have studied in the regular courses making...
