...School contains this year 187 students, an increase of 26 over the number last year, and an increase of nearly 50 over the two previous years. The Medical School has this year 226 students against 192 last year. The various other departments remain about the same as before. The candidates for higher degrees have increased by ten. Several new features are brought to light in the catalogue, of which the principal is the admission of unmatriculated students. Upon payment of a moderate fee, persons twenty-one years of age can pursue such studies as they are qualified for without passing...
...change involving the possibility of obtaining a more capable man, may now with some reason be hoped for. The Directors, we understand, although fully convinced that a change was necessary, hesitated somewhat before taking so decided a step. Their delay caused very general dissatisfaction and, considering the number of men who have left the Commons during the last week, it was certainly unfortunate.

His mark in all his historical courses had been above that required for honors, and they were about to be assigned him, when it was discovered that the number of hours taken up by his electives in history was one short of the required amount. He accordingly graduated without honors in history. No one denied that he knew enough to entitle him to the distinction, but that, they declared, was not the question...
...which he must do hard work; then, by the regulation of the Faculty, he must take something else to fill up his time! This is a regulation that seems to me unnecessary. I do not propose that Seniors should have three courses instead of four required of them. Some number must be prescribed, and perhaps, in most cases, four is none too many. But the regulation should be made elastic, so to speak. It should allow discrimination in particular cases, making a special regulation, if necessary, in each case. The Senior with four electives is required to have an average...
