...main point of Prof. Ladd's argument refers to the comparative attendance at two colleges in question. The members of '85 at Harvard "'cared to stay away' only two exercises per week out of twelve, - that is, rather more than 12 per cent. of the whole." At Yale, for seven weeks of last term, the absences of '89 men amounted only to 3.7 per cent. of the entire number of recitations.
