But there is a marked contrast in the extent to which different instructors seem willing to afford this assistance to the members of their electives. Of course each of them has the right to do as he wishes in regard to what and how many books he will reserve...

Not only has the course been an extremely interesting and instructive one, but it has shown an amount of original research that has been little appreciated, except by those students who have closely followed the lectures. And in this connection we cannot help saying a word with reference to the work undertaken by Mr. Snow. Called suddenly to finish a course of lectures began by another, his position undoubtedly is a difficult and a trying one; and we hope that this difficulty will not be increased by the students, but that they will...
