Under the rather long heading "Compulsory Attendance of College Students at Chapel Services," the Journal of Education has an article that at the present time is particularly applicable to Harvard. The writer excellently draws the distinction between a college and a university, showing how much more election in the study belongs to the latter than the former. The college in its aim is "general rather that special, being to develop, as lies in its power, the youth into a man, not into a teacher, lawyer, or other professional or business specialist." The university, on the other hand, is for special...
...centre of learning will gather about it both the learned and the unlearned, the ordinary and the peculiar. And almost every type of goodness, evil, and indifference will characterize the student life. Every university or college possesses proofs of this. But Harvard is, perhaps, at present unique in one particular, boasts a higher perfection in one field, enjoys deeper draughts of one pleasure than any other college in an American's knowledge. This is the work of Harvard poets. The work of our poets is the model of the western college poetasters and is therefore simply another example...
...with the number required. The subjects could easily be made so comprehensive as to necessitate a fair knowledge of the ground covered by the course, and even if they were only special topics, the student would be so keenly alive to gather anything which might be said concerning his particular specialty that he would inevitably learn all that was said, involuntarily as it were. These theses would, of course, be marked excellent, good, bad, etc., and not by percentages; thus doing away with all ranking, except by grades, which is one of the crying evils of the present system...
...thrust upon them. But, as for the Cambridge police, we think we may be pardoned, if, under the circumstances, we decline their society. Although a member of the faculty may enter a student's room at pleasure, a policeman cannot enter without a search warrant sworn out for that particular room. Therefore, unless this document is presented in regular form, no man need feel obliged to admit anyone, save the college authorities. On the other hand, every man is at liberty to protect his room from intrusion in any way that may seem best. In truth, either a policeman...
...untrained eye, as in the case of the lamps. The inventor claims for these dynamos a capacity of fifteen or more lamps per horse power against eight or ten by all other systems. But the great interest to the public at large, and to Harvard students in particular, lies in the fact that these new machines can be constructed so cheaply as to be no more expensive than gas, so that there is no reason why we should not all have the electric lights in our rooms, if the faculty would only undertake it, just as they now manage steam...
