...commence Analytical Geometry this term before taking their examination in Trigonometry. It is well understood that the former is the hardest subject of the freshman year and requires very close application to pass in the June examination; and, when it is first begun, it is not the time to neglect it.

He would have the instruction of our colleges touch practical life more closely, and so far as this the advocates of English and scientific education have found a lively champion. The doctor declares that most college students cannot write a plain hand, compose a creditable letter...
