...time of the year; while Harvard makes no such allowance. From the present outlook, however, it seems only a question of time before Harvard changes the regulations so as to allow summer instruction to count for a degree.

If they deem it emphatically good, then let the H. A. A. strictly enforce it; if they think it bad and unworthy of the H. A. A., as we are forced to believe it, then...
