Snodkins and I take "Polly Kon" together. Snodkins' seat is just in front of mine, so that I get a very good view of Snodkins' back, as well as of the back of his note-book. The other day I thought I would watch Snodkins and discover, if I could, his method of taking notes. He came in just in time to be marked absent by the instructor, spent some very precious moments in getting off his coat, and arranging himself generally, but was at last, I thought, ready to go to work. But not yet. What good are introductions...
...days ago we received a card, with the inscription,-"The President and Faculty of Wellesley College at home, Monday, Feb. 23, 1885, from 2.30 to 5 P.M." An enclosed note explained all, we were invited to the Reception given to the Wellesley Jnniors, by the Faculty. As it was against our principles to attend recitations on a national holiday, it may be readily imagined that the time we took to make up our minds about accepting the invitation was very short. Accordingly, last Monday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, we found ourselves at Wellesley station, and there our good...
...interesting to watch the students as they gather. The lecture never begins before a quarter past the hour, and during that time the students straggle in, one by one. Each has an enameled cloth or leather pocket, in which he carries his papers and books for taking notes. He leisurely hangs up his hat and coat, spreads out his papers, and takes from his pocket an inkstand and a common steel pen. The blackened desks and streaked floors give ample proof of the catastrophes that have overtaken these inkstands in times past. An American stylograph would be an untold blessing...
...been recently suggested, either seriously or sarcastically, that there be compiled in one or two volumes a collection of "Notes and Comments on famous Works of History and Fiction in the Harvard University Library,"-the basis of the work to be the extremely brilliant and exquisite marginal notations that have in past years accumulated on the pages of the different works. Such a collection would doubtless meet with a great deal of favor-with as much favor, possibly, as the notes themselves in their present written form have met with. It is refreshing-to the reader (to him especially...
When the elective pamphlet appears next May, there is one addition to its already broad list of electives which we would very much like to see. In almost all of our courses we are obliged to take extensive notes of the instructor's lecture, not only for the purpose of having a synopsis of the work and a guide for outside reading, but also because there are some things which he says which it is impossible to find elsewhere, or, if to be found at all, only after toilsome research. If the disagreeableness of note-taking were the only drawback...
