...Wednesday's HERALD-CRIMSON, there is a letter signed "Graduate" urging the formation of a Harvard congress or mock parliament,-an assembly of students for the discussion of political subjects with a view towards benefiting themselves, and making themselves more suited for a political career.

But however beautiful this plan may seem, and notwithstanding the enormous sums devoted to it, in the opinion of all unprejudiced Englishmen it does but little for science; manifestly because most of these young men, although they are the pick of the students, and in the most favorable conditions possible for scientific work, have in their student...
