...Stillman Infirmary of Professor Charles Gross, the University loses one of her greatest scholars and most devoted servants. For the past 21 years he has worked here with unflagging energy and zeal, a shining example for his pupils, and an object of love and admiration to all who knew him; while his books have brought to Harvard wide renown in his chosen field of Mediaeval English History both in this country and in Europe. Modest, unselfish and retiring, with the broad outlook and noble charity of judgment which supplement and adorn the highest attainment, he labored steadily onward, never courting...
...would certainly seem that the Athletic Association had been in its business long enough, and knew the geography of the Stadium sufficiently well, to avoid such inconsistencies.

Above all it would be dangerous for our elective system, if serious students were guided by such a commentary in the choice of their courses. There may be poor courses in the University, but the chances are great that this kind of canvassing with this kind of answering and tabulating entirely distorts the picture...
