...about to be tried by the New York University. It is a course on current events and problems and is open to students in the university as well as to outsiders. From time to time college papers appeal for such courses; here at last is a practical experiment to test their value. It will be watched by other colleges, and if it appears possible to carry on a course consisting of a series of lectures by prominent men on topics so unrelated and still make it of such nature as may properly be counted toward a degree, the scheme will...
...connection with the recent discussion concerning the salaries of college graduates, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has gathered some figures from classes that have been some years out of school and whose members have been able to test their quality as workers in the world.

The contest with Washington and Jefferson was similar to those earlier in the season. Against Brown the team showed the effects of the failure to meet...
...beginning of his Junior year, each student is to have the option of registering for independent study in place of the regular courses. Weekly conferences will be held by the instructors with the students, but they need come up for test only twice a year. Each year they are to give evidence of their work in a carefully considered essay bearing on their chosen subject. Certain other regulations there are, but those briefly sketched here give the main features of the scheme...
