...distance on its shrine shines pure and white the real ultimate desire of your nature, adored and treasured, but too far away and cold to draw to it the tides of passion, love and hate, which spend their force upon the trifles of the day. Sometimes it seems almost as if so strange a state of things produced its strange result in the discrediting of eager passion and desire; as if they were too coarse and common for the higher interests of life.

...reforms at Columbia only seem to demonstrate the fact that the call of the undergraduates for a chance to shorten the course of collegiate study is being rapidly recognized. The efforts of Harvard in that direction have been noticed, and there can be no doubt that the system of study at all the American colleges will be revised soon.

The Scientific School is not absorbed, as might seem at first glance, but put on a firmer foundation. All its officers and instructors were members of the college faculty. At present the instructors, though still members of the faculty of arts and sciences, will form a separate administrative board, and will have their interests more closely bound to the Scientific School...
...examinations of previous years in Physics A (when twelve lectures were given) have been mere matters of form, the examinations this year must be even more so, since but seven lectures have been given, and those not under the most favorable auspices. It would certainly under these circumstances seem the wisest plan to omit the examination in Physics...
