...critical and doubtful position. Mistakes in electives are inevitably made, and the Junior regrets that he frittered away his Sophomore year on La Fontaine, when he might have taken a solid course in English, science, philosophy, or history. To the student, and even to the world, it is a serious loss thus to have thrown away a valuable year, for so much it amounts to, unless the negative good be deemed a fair compensation...
...November 1, provided that the city of Cambridge will supply police for the buildings. The authorities hesitate about accepting the offer, it appears.

Thesis-writing compels neglect of the topics...
...account of cigarette smoking and coffee drinking, is utterly false. On the contrary, of the two hundred and fifty men who have been examined, only two have been restricted from the use of the Gymnasium. Of course there have been instances of palpitation of the heart, but nothing more serious than that caused by overwork on the semi-annuals, or excessive exercise just previous to the examination...
