...advantages that would attend its introduction are so many that the enumeration of a few will suggest hundreds of others, for there is no limit to the usefulness of the new invention. There would be no more weary hours spent in the ill-ventilated recitation-rooms, which your papers are continually harping upon; nor would the deplorable condition of the walks cause any inconvenience to the students. The instructor could sit in his cosey library and ask his questions, and the student could answer while rolling another cigarette. As for those students who would be likely to read their answers...
...from the shelves containing the new books exposed for examination than from any other collection of the same size in the hall. Students would be no more apt to take books from the alcoves without getting them charged than from the reference and the new-book shelves. We would suggest that certain alcoves containing books that can be replaced easily be thrown open to the students, with the understanding that the continuance or discontinuance of the system will depend on whether the students use or abuse the privilege...
SOME time since it was suggested that the boating-flags be placed in Memorial Hall.

As the flags recall victories which have been won, and suggest others to be won, there could be found no more appropriate place for them than the one in which they would be seen so often by so large a number of students. And as the flags would be an ornament, even to Memorial Hall, we hope that the Directors...

Here the instructor might pass rapidly over the past work, emphasizing the salient points only, and bringing into clear relief those facts and principles necessary to an intelligent understanding of the subject. Without such guidance the student may wander fruitlessly among the treasures of Rome, not knowing that he stands before the masterpieces of Michael Angelo and Raphael...
...change I would suggest to the present Senior Class is to abandon this farce of class lives, and have a large class-book with pages assigned to every man ever connected with the class. Have a brief simple history, comprising some few salient points, such as date of birth, name of father, and time connected with class; let each man write the secretary at least every two years, and from these letters let his "history" be collated by the secretary. It is absurd with such large classes as we have now to attempt individual lives of every member...
