...there was such division of opinion that the discussion led to no action toward improvement of the schedule of lecture hours. The chief evil of the present system is an injurious interference with the liberty of choice of the individual student among the courses nominally open to him, on account of congestion of most of the lectures within a small range of hours. The attempt to use the hour from 7.45 to 8.45 has failed; and a motion to give each full course two morning hours and one afternoon hour was defeated by a large vote, in spite...
...Streeter, scarcely smacks of the British nobility, yet it sets forth an amusing situation in Irish language. A good natured, Chinese cook who artistically stabs a man between sips of tea, is well described by W. F. Boericke, under the title of "Wing." "A Sea Change," is interesting on account of its land-lubber usage of yachting terms, and occasionally provokes a smile in spite of its crude treatment. "Mad Antony's Wives," by R. W.

The Corporation had increased the salaries in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences by $43,784.99 in the year under review and this increase was more than met by the remarkable gain of $48,926.47 in receipts from students; but the assignment to restricted uses of funds, the income of which was available in the preceding year, contributed to a loss of income amounting to $18,242.99. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining the New Lecture Hall, the Germanic...
