...centre of all academic activity, it is strange indeed that such inadequate provision is made for students reading in the larger courses. It not infrequently happens that a class of from one to two hundred men is assigned to read one hundred pages in one book for a section meeting. By a simple calculation it is evident that if the book were in constant use for every available hour during two weeks, only one hundred and fifty-four men could do the reading and this is taking for granted that the work can be done in one hour, which...
...pleasant to find that the Advocate intends in the future to pay more attention to the point of view section because a just criticism of college papers has always been that there is usually little suggestion of college about them. In the current number, for example, there are two letters on a subject of direct local and contemporary interest--the new method of assignment of rooms in Senior dormitories, these very letters, moreover, bringing out the point that articles in such a paper as the Advocate should be much more carefully thought out and should be expressed in a more...
Many courses of study in the College devote two hours a week to lectures, and a third hour to section meetings in which some test is given on the prescribed reading. Though this plan is, in itself, most excellent, as applied to courses in general it is open to one serious objection, which might easily be removed by some simple but uniform regulation.

Those who are familiar with the Yard--as all of the students and alumni are--know that it can be divided into two parts, an east and west part, the dividing line being Thayer, University and Weld Halls. The magnificent old elms stand on the west section, while the eastern part, being newer, has a greater variety of trees, namely: elm, ash, maple and oak, which are younger and in much better condition, than the former ones...
