...recent number of the Springfield Republican contains a letter on the subject of "Political Economy at Harvard." Although the article contains nothing new, it incidentally mentions the growing importance of political study in a college course as a means of preparation for active political or journalistic life. This fact has been recognized by many of the universities of the country, and already at Columbia and Ann Arbor have been established schools of political science, whose special object is to train men for engaging in active politics. Although it seems that the scare at Harvard about the reduction of the courses...
...provide the necessary instruction for passing the examinations. If the universities fail to offer this instruction, special schools will spring up and will draw largely from the classes who would naturally support the colleges. In view of these facts, the strange apathy prevailing at Harvard on this subject seems to be ill-advised.

The novelty as well as the importance of the subject will attract attention. The lecture will be illustrated by diagrams, and will unquestionably prove as interesting as the lectures Mr. Atkinson has favored us with in past years...

The liberal quotations of Greek and Latin which are scattered through the paper appeal, however, to a body of readers, to whom Latin and Greek are more familiar than perhaps any other subjects. The elective system at Harvard has made it possible for a man to drop his Greek and Latin at the end of his freshman year. The result is that a number of Harvard students are incapable of translating a Greek or Latin sentence, which requires more than the most elementary...
