PROFESSOR WASHBURN, in a recent lecture to the students in the Law School, gave a number of suggestions of value to those intending to enter that profession. We can notice but a few of the leading ones. In referring to the necessary qualifications of those intending to become lawyers, he said, "His position implies fair natural powers, trained intellect, good common-sense, habits of thought and reflection, diligence of research and preparation, strict integrity and honorable purpose."

...little Record is again before us. The fondness for pictures which we suggested in a recent number has developed its natural result sooner than we had anticipated. It has initiated the pictorial business in college journalism. The last number contains a couple of beautiful woodcuts of the new boathouse, together with an accurate sketch of some double-scullists, and a lifelike representation of the University Six, showing the true Yale position of the back and shoulders at the beginning of the stroke.

As far as Harvard is concerned, few of the recent reforms have failed, hardly one having been abandoned. The substitution of the long vacation for several shorter and more rational ones, the perfecting of the elective system, with permission to anticipate the required studies, the privileges afforded to the Seniors of next year, - the last and most radical change, - these are the most popular, if not the most...
