...little better than a fairy tale. Joseph Cook also makes many characteristic remarks in two papers that he contributes. The Rev. E. E. Hale and C. D. Warner have the most interesting papers in the book, - especially the latter, who wisely refrains from laying down dogmatic rules. On the whole, we think the book can do no harm, and may do some good - in the hands of children ten or twelve years...
...there is one other possible explanation: perhaps the trouble with the Latin department is, that though each man in it is energetically and conscientiously working out his own ideas, the department as a whole lacks that unity of purpose which so pre-eminently distinguishes our department of Greek, and by which alone all desirable results can be attained. If this is the true explanation, - if the matter is, that the Latin instructors, blameless individually, do not pull well together, - then the case is, indeed, lamentable. For it is the community at large, and not the professors, who are to decide...
...subjects should be confined to philosophy seems still more unreasonable. There is a large number of men in each class who have no taste for philosophy, and who have, therefore, never taken an advanced elective in this course.

Besides, what are the advantages of their restriction? Apparently none. It would certainly be more interesting to the instructor to read Forensics on a variety of topics...
...former. Instructors, it is assumed are invariably as stiff as Prussian grenadiers, and as frigid as icebergs. That there is a lack of cordiality between instructor and student cannot be denied; that much of this is due to the instructor must also be admitted; but that the whole is due to him is not true. Last year a professor who taught four courses, each taken by some 50 or 60 men, repeatedly extended invitations to his pupils to call on him. For this purpose he set apart one evening a week. What was the result? On the first evening exactly...
...society, it would be well to remember that a fuller representation was lost simply by the public spirit of its members, and the personal self-sacrifice of one of their number. Of course no one can hope to fill every office with his first choice, but as a whole the class elections must be satisfactory to every Senior, and it can be said of no one of the officers that he was elected simply by the efforts of a petty clique. '81 has set a noble example to the classes yet to come, and we again congratulate the class...
