...have no Latin readings? It is proposed by the Greek department that there shall be a Greek reading on every Wednesday night until next May. Why is there no symptom of a like energy on the part of our Latin department? Is it because the Latin instructors feel the position of Latin to be so well assured that any further exertion in its behalf, other than that expended in the regular courses, would be unnecessary; while the instructors of Greek, on the other hand, realize that an animated sympathy with Greek, - such a sympathy as must come from something more...
...necessary to specify what courses it is intended to drop or maintain as extras. Surely the thanks of the class are due to the Faculty, who have so promptly responded to the wishes of a large number of undergraduates, thereby recognizing the right of petition on the part of the latter, - a right the moderate exercise of which is to be commended. And we are ready to believe, as we before have said in these columns, that in all essentials, at least, the Faculty are entirely disposed to consult the interests of those under their charge. Nor, in the general...
...another column we publish a communication upon what the writer considers dangerous concessions on the part of the College to the principle of co-education.

Besides, what are the advantages of their restriction? Apparently none. It would certainly be more interesting to the instructor to read Forensics on a variety of topics, and if the number of subjects to select from was larger, it would be much fairer, as more men could take...
...first evening exactly three came, the next two, and so on in arithmetical progression. Another instructor has even gone to the trouble of sending formal invitation cards to his pupils, with the same result. Several other cases could be cited to support the opinion that the evil is rooted partly, at least, in the habitual conservatism of students in making new acquaintances by which they might profit. No wonder that professors soon give up all hope of ever bringing about the different relation which is so much to be desired. If it cannot be said that the whole remedy lies...
