...hill, commanding a view of the town and lake; indeed, from the upper stories of Sage, the eye can take in the country for miles up and down the valley. In the summer, when the hillsides are covered with verdure, and the sun, just dropping behind the western hill, lights up the valley with its farewell glories, the poetic part of the co-ed nature receives a stimulus which forms a powerful antidote to the prosaic effect of Calculus and Psychology...
There are 485 students at Wellesley, of whom 315 are in the regular course, while 170 take special courses. Nearly every State in the Union is represented. New England sends 215 students, and the Middle and Western States 238. Mexico, Chili, Sandwich Islands, Turkey, Siam, Japan and South Africa are represented. - [Wellesley Courant...
...reached $730,000. The faculty had increased more than two hundred per cent. in twelve years, numbering twenty-six in 1859 and sixty-nine in 1883. The students' roll in 1869 was 529. At the beginning of 1883 the under graduates numbered 969. The Western boys in 1869 formed about 8 per cent, of the whole roll, but now they formed more than 12 per cent. Forty-eight courses were offered in 1869 and 160 in 1883. America, with Harvard in the lead, was gradually reaching a position where she could compete with such nations as England. Germany, and France...
...this year one of the college papers called attention to a fact that, compared with Yale, and possibly other colleges, the number of students at Harvard from other than the Eastern States was small. This fact, which is evident when we compare the number of students here from the Western and Southern States with the number from those States at Yale and some other colleges, is, we think, sufficiently accounted for when we consider how few schools there are outside of New England whose regular course is advanced enough to prepare students for our entrance examinations. All those who have...
...cannot too highly praise the plan recently adopted at Yale, the particulars of which we learn from a Western exchange. "Dress suits," it says, "will be discontinued by the ushers at the Yale junior examinations." The plan of wearing dress suits at examinations certainly has little to commend it, and is open to many serious objections. If the wearing of dress suits were confined to "proctors" or ushers at Yale, it might not be so objectionable, but when this practice is carried to such a gross excess as it is at Harvard, it seems high time to cry Halt...
