...summarize the results of all the examinations or show the light in which the individual students regarded them. There appears, however, to be a very general idea among the upper-classmen that the examination papers were constructed on a broader basis this year than heretofore. The instructors made the scope of their questions wider and thus gave the students a chance to assert their knowledge or to disclose their ignorace in a more manly and scholarly way. The nature of the papers must of necessity vary greatly with the subject matter and some studies would not allow of this broader...
...money aids for needy and meritorious students have been given or left as permanent funds to the university. Many of these benefactions have been limited in their application to undergraduates of the college proper. It is henceforth desirable that special, graduate, and professional students should be included within the scope of such benefactions, or, in other words, that a needy, meritorous student in any department of the university should be eligible, Among needed buildings, are a dormitory, a reading room connected with Gore Hall, a museum, with laboratories and lecture rooms for the botanical department, a swimming-bath connected with...

It is a notorlous fact that a French gamin has a very pronounced gift of language and diction, while the American breed is uncouth and unintelligible. From the study of other...
...catalogue of Yale University presents clearly and fully the scope of study offered there, and enables one to make a comparison with that at Harvard which we discussed at some length one week ago. The requirements for admission do not greatly differ so far as classics and mathematics go, except that Harvard presents an option between one of the ancient languages and a rather severe equivalent in physical science and a choice of modern history in place of ancient. But Harvard also requires a considerable amount of English and of physical science, which Yale does not demand at all, before...
...fact worthy of more than passing note. It is a matter of more especial consideration to Harvard students, however, in that the new journal is to be issued from the political economy department of this university. During the past few years this department has been enlarged and increased, its scope has been broadened, and its advantages for study have been added to, until it is one of the most complete in the United States. It is eminently fitting therefore, that such a publication should emanate from Harvard...
