...course adopted by many instructors of giving theses to be written outside of the regular work has been, and deserves to be, the cause of much complaint on the part of the students. When a man has elaborate theses to write, as in Political Economy 3 and History 5, of a hundred pages or so in length, one of two things must happen: either he must neglect his regular work and write them during term time, or he must devote his Christmas recess to the task. Either of these courses seems equally bad, and we cannot believe that the amount...
...night until next May. Why is there no symptom of a like energy on the part of our Latin department? Is it because the Latin instructors feel the position of Latin to be so well assured that any further exertion in its behalf, other than that expended in the regular courses, would be unnecessary; while the instructors of Greek, on the other hand, realize that an animated sympathy with Greek, - such a sympathy as must come from something more than routine work, is of vital importance? It is true, that of late years there has been considerable doubt in some...
...another column we publish a communication upon what the writer considers dangerous concessions on the part of the College to the principle of co-education. The special grievance that has called this forth is that ladies are allowed to attend Professor Hedge's lectures in German 8, - a regular College course, - and that they have come in such numbers that the elective has been assigned to a new room, Harvard 6, in which there are no facilities for writing, and the ventilation is notoriously bad. So far as this is concerned, we entirely agree with the writer when he says...
...electives, while the expenses already incurred, and the advance in the year, should prevent even the suggestion of the idea of compulsory withdrawals. Under these circumstances there appear but two resorts : either to make two sections for the hour on Wednesday and Friday, or to count private hours as regular ones. In the way of either proposition there are no serious difficulties, and it is hoped that the instructor will be able to adopt one or the other. An improvement could also be made on the present mode of supplying one's self with water for washing paint-brushes. Instead...
...first college football match of the season was played on the Manhattan Polo Grounds, in New York, Saturday last, with Columbia. Two of Harvard's regular Team, Houston and Manning, were unable to play, Foster and Boyd taking their places. Harvard won the toss, and took the wind, giving Columbia the kick-off. In a minute, the ball was driven down to Columbia's goal, and it was evident that Harvard was to play an aggressive and, unless some accident intervened, a successful game. But though our opponents were plainly overmatched, they defended themselves so successfully, that for some time...
