...Graduates' Magazine for June gives us a copy of Charles Hopkinson's portrait of Professor Palmer recently presented to the University and prints the happy words of appreciation spoken by Professor Royce at the dinner in honor of Professor Palmer. Due praise is given for Professor Palmer's share in the growth and development of the Department of Philosophy, but special emphasis is laid on his "power of the single word, of the patiently adjusted expression, of the gemlike sentence or paragraph." In like spirit of appreciation is the Greek epigram by E. K. Rand '94, in honor of Professor...
...these words Major Higginson aptly phrased the common opinion of those patriots who fought for the national honor and whose memory we shall observe tomorrow. At the exercises in Sanders Theatre Rev. H. G. Spaulding will speak on "Charles Sumner". To hear an account of such a patriot from one who knew him should be historically of great interest to all. To become better acquainted with the ideals for which our forefathers were willing to lay down their lives should be a strong factor toward a deeper appreciation of the duties of American citizenship...
...Advocate begins with an optimistic editorial on the latest shibboleth, the Honor System, and then presents the reader with a poem entitled, "To Some Good Editor Who'll Think."

Since the subject matter of the poem, however, is not rollicking, but only noisy and tawdry, and since the metrical structure is so uneven that the stanzas seem but rows of rhymed, unaccented sentences, the author, happily unknown, can hardly be said to have attained his goal...
Other countries often wonder why it is that in American colleges more honor is not paid to pure scholarship. In England the scholars are socially the best men in the universities, in general ranking even above the athletes. At Harvard, to be sure, scholarship is not despised, but it is admitted that the scholars do not receive the honor which they ought; and when they are respected it is usually for combining their scholarship with success in the outside interests which are looked upon more favorably by the undergraduates...
...know anything about the subject and get a good mark. Section men in the large courses are far too inclined to give credit to knowledge of details and to overlook a broad knowledge of the subject, such as a man would have to have in going up for his honor examination at Oxford. If, in the large courses especially, greater credit could be given to voluntary outside reading--which few men do now because they get no credit from their section men--and to ability to think rather than to write down details learned from memory, more men of broad...
