...course adopted by many instructors of giving theses to be written outside of the regular work has been, and deserves to be, the cause of much complaint on the part of the students. When a man has elaborate theses to write, as in Political Economy 3 and History 5, of a hundred pages or so in length, one of two things must happen: either he must neglect his regular work and write them during term time, or he must devote his Christmas recess to the task. Either of these courses seems equally bad, and we cannot believe that the amount...
...Modern Languages are based mainly on French and German. But there are no motives to urge men to a careful study of English, except the excellence of the instruction given, or love for the subject. Is our literature, then, so deficient in value and interest? Is the ability to write - not Greek, but English - of so little importance? Students of Saxon and Old English meet with scant encouragement. Honorable Mention is a meagre reward for faithful work in seven English courses. It is but a vague term, at best; and certainly the addition, English, does not suggest any knowledge, however...
...called this forth is that ladies are allowed to attend Professor Hedge's lectures in German 8, - a regular College course, - and that they have come in such numbers that the elective has been assigned to a new room, Harvard 6, in which there are no facilities for writing, and the ventilation is notoriously bad.

The mere question of convenience can easily be settled, it would...
...easel? The plague take those g - s for taking off my easel and leaving it there in the corner. What! Indiscretion, thy name is woman! Look, she has written her title, May Antigone Livingstone, on my easel. Some one has said we can do nothing worse than write a book about an enemy, but I am certain that I can do nothing better than to paint Antigone beside her name, either as she is, might, or should have been, or as I imagine her to be. But what school shall I take as a model? I rather like the French...
...pushed forward, with every prospect of success. Professor White, as is well known, has undertaken the arduous task of general direction. The charge of the detail has been carefully allotted to other gentlemen, who will make a special study of the departments intrusted to them. Thus, Professor Paine will write the music; he has indeed already written the score for the first and second choruses. Professors Goodwin and Norton will attend to the costumes; Professor J. D. Allen to the dancing; Mr. John Wheeler is studying up the subject of stage action; Mr. Riddle undertakes the training of the actors...
