Math. 9. - Analytic Mechanics - may almost be regarded as the summing up of pure Mathematics, for it finds a use for the most advanced methods of analysis, and thus has had much to do in stimulating and shaping mathematical progress. Its object is the development of the theory of force and motion in the most general mathematical forms. The previous study of Physics 1 is an advantage in this course, but not a necessity. Math. 1, 2, 5, and 6 are necessary, but 6 may be taken at the same time. Math. 10 is designed for students who have taken...
...modern philosophy, it accepts some of the philosophy of the past; and also, unlike him, it does not believe it has left no truth to be discovered. It is not a full-grown, but a growing philosophy. It is therefore, under a competent teacher, peculiarly fitted to be an object of study. In studying most subjects the student uses the method of "instruction"; in studying cosmic philosophy he must also use the method of "discovery." In studying the ordinary philosophy the student must be content with doing what thousands have done before him; in studying cosmic philosophy. he is doing...
...janitor for those purposes. The occupants, moreover, who have washing done in Cambridge must have it done by the family. Or, in the words of a Boston paper, "Holyoke will be managed in every way like a first-class hotel, except that no meals will be served." The object of the proposed change is to exclude from the building persons who do not belong there, and to make the property of the students more secure. The measure is looked upon by some occupants of the building as extremely arbitrary, and by others as quite desirable. It seems to us that...
This could be issued as complementary to the list of electives, or could supersede it. If, however, the expense would be an objection, the pamphlet could be put on sale at the bookstores, and we hardly think that the instructors would object to the very slight trouble of preparing such accounts. Last year, in two instances, instructors took the trouble to explain their courses to all who thought of electing them. This indicates that Faculty and students agree in this, that more information is needed in regard to electives, and it also shows that there is a willingness...
...unnatural error at a time when magenta as the name of a color was little known beyond dry-goods' shops and the ladies. That these so-called red handkerchiefs were in truth of magenta, I have a pleasant reason for knowing, from having been made the object of some light feminine chaff about Harvard's taste in selecting so homely a color. In those days - as now indeed - we sometimes wore a straw hat with magenta ribbon, and some old faded magenta cravats made by the chaffers might possibly be found in forgotten boxes. It is highly probable that...
