...help except a comparatively small sum towards defraying their expenses on the present trip. It is rather surprising to most persons to be visited by cricket men for money, but it would not be so much out of place if the lacrosse men were to try the same plan. We feel sure that quite a number of persons would gladly help them financially, but at any rate they may expect in the future a better reception and much less ridicule...
...announced in an item of this issue, Prof. Palmer will next year hold the recitation of his course in Hegel in the evening, if the class so desire. We would commend this plan most highly to other instructors. It seems to us that it would be most admirable to hold the recitations in some courses in the evening, instead of during the day. That it would be better for the health and eyes of students if they could be relieved of a part of the night work, by having the day for study, no one can doubt for an instant...
Suppose, for instance, that a man, at the beginning of his sophomore year, expends considerable time and thought in arranging a definite and satisfactory plan of studies for his college course. After having definitely solved, as he supposes, this Chinese puzzle, he happily pursues the even tenor of his way during his sophomore year. He feels perfectly satisfied and at ease concerning his future studies, when, lo! some bright - or rather, cloudy - morning, he awakes and finds a new Elective Pamphlet is born to injure his peace of mind by a change in the grouping of the courses...
...carefully composed "plan, deliberately made and adhered to" (through his sophomore year, at least,) has been completely destroyed. All the courses he had intended to take in his junior and senior years conflict. He is again left groping in the dark, with his courses disarranged. He is obliged to begin anew, after having lost a year, and arrange another plan. It is too late now to take certain courses which he could have taken by a little different arrangement of his sophomore year's work, which he could easily have made had he known of the changes in prospect...
...Greek 5 and Latin 7 now conflict. History 8, now in group VII., was formerly in group IX. This course - History 8 - now conflicts with Greek VIII., which two courses I had arranged to take in my junior year. The present arrangement will compel me to change my entire plan of study for the rest of my college course. It seems particularly unnecessary, as the same instructor has another history course (History 6) at the time History 8 is given this year. It would be very easy for him simply to interchange these two courses and replace History...
