...Brevity column will be found a part of the new plan proposed by the Committee on Honors and Honorable Mention. Its aim is, by a system of stars, graded degrees, and the like, to distinguish more clearly the nature of the work done by each man in his college course, and to give those men who have not gone in for the regular Honors, nor have had a high general average, some distinction for their ability and proficiency in some one or two studies...
...annual report before the Board of Overseers President Eliot discusses very thoroughly the advantages of scholarships to the College, the recipients, and the public, and takes his usual ground in favor of the present system.

...Library need little comment from us.

Besides, when books are taken...

It is desirable, however, that the crews of American colleges should...

If an instructor is allowed to send warnings to students for cutting recitations in his elective, the privilege of voluntary recitations, for which the Junior class has to pay so dear, is practically abolished. Recitations are not really voluntary so long as there is a penalty of any sort for absence, and when an instructor, after finding a man absent for several recitations, sends him a notice that he is not likely to get through the course unless his attendance improves...
