...main difference in the systems of study in the Law Schools of Harvard, Yale and Columbia, it is asserted, is that at Columbia a class pursues but one subject at a time, having daily recitations thereon of one and an half or two hours each, while at Yale several subjects are simultaneously pursued with one or more exercises a week in each. The Harvard plan differs radically, each subject being studied by reported cases, and text books being little used...
Last year the all-important question in the university was the subject of the governor's degree. That question was grappled with by the overseers in a very heroic fashion, and the Gordian knot was cut, although the manner of its cutting may have displeased many. In other words the custom of conferring the degree of LL. D. upon the governor was stopped. Now in the face of the election of Mr. Robinson the question again arises.

The photographer can promise much better satisfaction with the class pictures if they are all taken within the next six weeks, and by getting through with this part...
...must beg to be excused for bringing up again a very old and worn-out subject, but it seems to us that a word in time may possibly save us from that daily bane which will soon threaten--a chapel service with the temperature somewhere near zero. The faculty have from time to time done much to increase our interest in morning prayers by improving the services, singing etc., but they seem to have forgotten a very important point-that even students need to be kept above a certain temperature if the interest is to be maintained. It has been...
