...BOSTON, June 18, 1879."MY DEAR FRIEND, - I am invited to Mr. Holworthy's spread on Class Day, and hope to see you there. You know we have not met since that delightful summer which we spent together at Mt. Desert. You were a Freshman then. How long ago it seems, and how nice it will be to find you almost a Senior! Perhaps you are changed, too. Indeed, I am not sure that I should know you, for, what do you think? I had the misfortune to bow to a gentleman in the street, thinking...

If a student takes, for example, Political Economy for the Senior year, his work in it is absolutely unnoticed and unrewarded. This is wholly wrong; it leaves the indolent without any hope of reward to stimulate them, and the hard-working without any notice of their industry. Many graduates can testify how much a good position in various courses on the Commencement programme was esteemed and worked for, and how many Seniors, for the first time, did work, and realized profit from...
