...eagerness with which the college took advantage of the opportunities offered them affords a hint to the other organizations in the college. We have had very few lectures during the past two years compared with the number open to us some three or four years ago. Every day we read of some well-known lecturers appearing before student-audiences in all parts of the country, and the only reason that prevents many of these speakers from favoring Harvard is that they have not been invited. Once more do we call upon the other organizations of the college to follow...
...been reduced to a perfunctory basis and shall have become as proper as the most ardent disciplinarian could wish, it may be found necessary to devise a substitute for them as a preventive of disorder. In the opening words of a recent editorial the Oberlin Review furnishes us a hint which immediately suggests such a substitute.

Why Harvard should wish such control it is not easy to see. No, the Transcript is engaged in a very reprehensible business in fomenting jealousy between Yale and Harvard by dropping...
...process to which they are subjected, can hardly be disputed. It was said a good many years ago of a legal examination that not one of the examiners could have passed it. Strong in his own subject, each would have failed in one of the others. Might not a hint be taken from this that in future those who conduct the more severe examinations shall be required to pass them? Such a regulation would possibly be found to produce a marked effect, excluding the excessive zeal of examiners...
