...country. Feeling, however, that the most critical audience would be those most concerned-Harvard students themselves,-the gentleman has kindly consented to give a private rehearsal of his lecture this evening before the members of his class, to whom he has accordingly sent invitations. The lecture, we learn, will be called "Harvard University, or, What I saw at College," and will be illustrated by stereopticon views. Among the views will be the interior of the library, interior of Memorial at lunch time, an instantaneous picture of the men running to chapel just as the last notes of the bell...
...plan submitted by the Conference Committee has not yet been discussed by the faculty. The reason for the delay, as we learn from a member of the committee, is simply that a favorable opportunity for presenting the plan has not yet offered itself. Before President Eliot went away from Cambridge, the faculty was busy with other matters; after the President's departure, consideration of the plan had necessarily to be postponed.

What does the college student want? Are his views communistic, socialistic, nihilistic? Does he claim that he can and should teach as well as learn, and that he and his instructor should be equal? Is he rapid in his ideas, and does he believe in the effectiveness of dynamite? To all these questions, no. The poor man, the laborer, the ignorant and idle citizen, may cry out for common living, for community of money, property, government, and even brains; but the college student is able to realize that two classes are the law of nature; that the instructor...
...true that a writer of a part could probably get Mr. Briggs to recommend his subject to Dr. Royce, who, in turn, would probably allow the substitution of this part for the long thesis. But this is mere supposition, as no actual provision, as far as we can learn, has been made for commencement parts. In addition to this, the theses are due on the last day of March, and very few men care to write their commencement parts and have them entirely finished as early in the year as this...
