...collections of the Fine Arts Department are being arranged as rapidly as possible in Sever B and 31. The rooms will soon be in order, and will then be kept open for the inspection of students. The collections are small as yet, owing to lack of funds; but they will prove of very material benefit to those who have elected Fine Arts courses, besides being of much interest to others. Mr. Moore's copies are works of great excellence, and deserve careful study; the casts from the Phidian marbles will lead to a much better understanding of Greek art than...
...relations of instructors to students have been frequently discussed, but rarely to the advantage of the former. Instructors, it is assumed are invariably as stiff as Prussian grenadiers, and as frigid as icebergs. That there is a lack of cordiality between instructor and student cannot be denied; that much of this is due to the instructor must also be admitted; but that the whole is due to him is not true. Last year a professor who taught four courses, each taken by some 50 or 60 men, repeatedly extended invitations to his pupils to call on him. For this purpose...
ALTHOUGH the last meeting of the Union was eminently a successful one, yet there were certain incidents which call for remark, in order to prevent their occurrence in future.

...substitute on the 'Varsity; the feeling that prompted that refusal is of far greater importance than the act itself; it indicates a division of interest and purpose which is in great measure the cause of our many recent failures, which are due more to the lack of centralization of our forces than any thing else. The Captain of our Crew complains of not being backed up sufficiently. A considerable part of this lack of interest is due to the much-written-of Harvard indifference, but a larger part than is generally supposed is caused by the lack of centralization...
LAST year we looked forward to the completion of Sever Hall in the hope that we should suffer no longer from a lack of ventilation in the recitation rooms, and we still believe that this end might be attained if the new rooms were assigned to meet present needs and not to comply with some rigid system which satisfies no one except the complacent inventor. If preference is given to any department, it ought to be that one for which Sever is best adapted. But this has not been done. It seems that room has been found in Sever...
