...cure itself in due time, and then, the advantages, without the drawbacks usually attending privileges when at first granted, will be demonstrated. At any rate, the system should have a fair trial, and too frequent changes in the methods of instruction, with a policy so constantly vacillating that no plan of study can be carried out, must very soon necessitate a return to the prescribed system...

...made such a name in this department. We are glad to learn also that this course, if successful, will be the beginning of a series of University Lectures, given under the control of the University, but supported by outside subscriptions. It is certainly a much more sensible plan to give lectures of this sort in Sanders Theatre, and have them open to the public, than to confine them to resident graduates and a few others, as was done in the former courses...
