...announcement of a series of lectures on the six most important professions, to be given during the months of February and March, deserves attention. A glance at the names of the lecturers is enough to show that every subject will be treated in a thorough and interesting manner. Dr. C. J. Blake, one of the most prominent professors of the Medical School will begin the series with a lecture on the practice of Medicine. He will be followed by Hon. Jeremiah Smith, until recently a judge in the New Hampshire supreme court, who will speak...
There are about 25 freshmen in training, and judging from the work their class crew did last fall in the race between the academic and scientific classes, a very good crew will be turned out. It is probable that Yale and Harvard will cease rowing "side-show" races and this means that the events will be a race each year between the respective university and freshman crews. Bob Cook, who has been in New Haven recently, expressed his satisfaction at the work done by the candidates for both 'varsity and freshman crews.

Also the number of these who omit Greek altogether has increased from 3.5 per cent. to 6 42. Facts show that the classical schools are giving more attention than formerly to modern languages and experimental sciences, and that schools which do not teach Greek are becoming more numerous. That the admission examination is still an effective barrier against incompetent students is proved by the large number of withdrawals and resignations...
