...openly acknowledged that two half-courses were far more than an equivalent to one full course, and yet in reality they were held to be equal, and could be substituted for each other. Naturally such a state of things proved most unsatisfactory, and some change was felt to be needed. Then the present system, by which a half course became a three hour course for half a year, was tried in some subjects, and this new method has been found to be entirely adequate to fulfill all the needs of such a course. It has been found that these...

In many cases the stones are out of the level or so worn that they hold the water...
...comes from without. Inter-collegiate rivalry is the life of any thorough system of outdoor athletics. That the smaller colleges are taking up with this system and forming leagues for themselves shows not only the force of the example of larger colleges in this matter, but indicates also the need everywhere felt for such a stimulus as inter-collegiate contests afford...
