Sabine undertook the task put before him, and worked at it assiduously for some months with entire success so far is the auditorium of the Fogg Museum was concerned. But he was not content with this success. He proposed to study himself the problem of acoustics with such thoroughness as to make it a part of science. In the course of a few years he was able to do what no other man, so far as we know, had ever been able to do, that is, to foretell with confidence and accuracy from the mere plan and materials...
...Eliot's specific proposals for organizing a national army, we are inclined to accept them in substance, with some few reservations, particularly in regard to his idea of a non-paid army.

...problem of the study cards is truly a serious one. For two years materialistic considerations have been uppermost in the minds of college men. The former appreciation of the value of the humanities in producing a well-rounded out view of life and men must be revived. Education is the support of a democracy, it is true; but it must be that education which not only informs us of the innumerable phenomena of science, but which gives to us, through an acquaintance of life and letters in the past, a comprehensive knowledge of the arts and nobler things of life...
