...apostles of modern progress assert, indeed, that all individual force and manliness have not died out with the decline of some of the old observances which tended to foster these qualities. Civilization, it is said, has changed the form but not the essence of heroism. The moral of the omission of the exercises at the tree, it is claimed, would not be that the free, rollicking, glorious creature we know as the Harvard student has become a cynic, mounted on the hobby horse of "indifference," or a prig prating of "the true, the beautiful, and the good," both too superior...
...universal law that in all progress the development is from a homogeneous simplicity of construction to a heterogeneous complexity. Applying this to the evolution of an intellectual society, it is evident that, with the march of enlightenment, thinkers must both become more trained in mind and more specially and diversely educated. The place of the general lawyer is now filled by the marine lawyer, the criminal lawyer, the trust lawyer, and many others. But the growth of Harvard within the last few years has been rather to discourage special attention to any one study, and to tempt the student...
...their roll of honor. Having early chosen medicine as the work of his life, he had thoroughly devoted himself to it, making all his studies tend to that end. He had a mind extremely quick to receive and originate ideas, an untiring industry, a ready and decided judgment; his progress, therefore, in this, as in all that he undertook, was of the most thorough and promising kind. But conspicuous as he was for mental ability, it is in the private relations of friendship that his loss will be most felt. His friends will miss one who was warm-hearted, loyal...
...well as a knowledge of notes and their values. That is all that is meant by "practical knowledge" in this case. It is the object of this course to give the student a thorough and accurate knowledge of the development of music from the time of its birth. Its progress and the new impulses that it received from the different masters are fully discussed. The opera - both the Italian and Bouffe - is taken up from the time of its invention, and in this connection the lives of the most prominent singers of the different centuries are studied. The composers...
Math. 9. - Analytic Mechanics - may almost be regarded as the summing up of pure Mathematics, for it finds a use for the most advanced methods of analysis, and thus has had much to do in stimulating and shaping mathematical progress. Its object is the development of the theory of force and motion in the most general mathematical forms. The previous study of Physics 1 is an advantage in this course, but not a necessity. Math. 1, 2, 5, and 6 are necessary, but 6 may be taken at the same time. Math. 10 is designed for students who have taken...
