...laboratory has never been denied place as the workshop of reality, but the tutorial system has seemed to carry a flavor of books, hearth fire and mellow phrasing that has little in common with laboratory coats, Bunsen burners and quantitative analysis. The sciences had been thought of as a multitude of parts, subdivided and resubdivided in an arrangement with so few cross relationships that the tutorial system, which aims to give the gazing student a view of the whole field, had little application here. Teaching the young idea geology, for instance, has been a matter of cumulation of courses like...
...equipment of the building, still only in its tentative stage, one notices a definite shift in the theory of exercise. Hemenway offers a classic example of an athletic workshop. Dumbells, pulleys, and other machines of torture abound; exercise, "work", abounds. In the proposed building, the emphasis will have moved with the times.

Baker, '87 in the 47 Workshop Company, then while still serving as Professor I. L. Winter's assistant in the department of public speaking, he produced a number of amateur plays in and about Boston, later himself going on the stage and filling among other important positions that of stage manager in the exciting production...
...surprising that this group is a minority; it is astounding to find that it is tolerated. Misplaced as any zenl for combined study in the workshop of a university is, it assumes proportions larger than those of mere annoyance when it thwarts an educational experiment. The Reading Period, it has been said, depend for a fair trial upon the co-operation of Library and student. The Library's assistance has been wholehearted and complete, that of the student deserves no impairment at the hands of the thoughtless. No one would wish a permanent "verboten" to be hung on communication...
