...becoming more and more clearly recognized. That Harvard will soon find it necessary to move in the matter seems to be an idea that is daily gaining ground. Whether the outcome of any reform will result in the adoption of some modification of the "Amherst system," adapted to the larger requirements of a university, or in some totally new system, it is useless to conjecture; but that a system of ranking and of examination so stuffed with evil as the present one, and so universally condemned by both faculty and students, must soon be done away with is tolerably evident...
Three thousand physical examinations, said Dr. Sargent in his lecture yesterday, have done much to convince me that the number of men with imperfectly formed chests is very much larger than is commonly supposed.

However, it may prove the best policy for Amherst, and it has probably not been adopted without due consideration on the part of the faculty. We shall watch its progress with interest. The system is introduced...
