...sketch roughly the plan I would adopt for the practical application of the system. I would divide the whole number of members of the Dining-Hall Association into five classes, and each of these I would subdivide into two subclasses. These divisions should be composed of men who take chiefly the following subjects: A. Languages. 1. Ancient. 2. Modern. B. Mathematics. 1. Hard. 2. Soft. C. History. 1. Of Events. 2. Of Institutions. D. Physics. 1. Useful. 2. Useless. E. Philosophy. 1. Comprehensible. 2. Incomprehensible...

Like Lady Teazle, I admit all the rest, but beg leave most emphatically to deny the Fakir; and would earnestly question whether this...
...contributors. As instruction is now given to two of the classes, and as opportunities for practice in the various electives are quite numerous, we imagine that the authorities intend to satisfy this desire as fully as possible, and we therefore do not print the article in question. But we take advantage of the opportunity to propose once more the establishment of a general club, similar to the unions of Oxford and Cambridge, about which our readers will find full particulars in the back numbers of the Crimson. There can be no better time than the present for the establishment...
