...advent of this latter day rests largely upon the success of the tutorial system in the scientific departments which have already adopted it. But the Chemistry Department, which must be giving the system serious thought, since it is the only science still astray for the fold, may not wait for instantaneous success elsewhere to make its own decision. The change of the Biology Department went into effect only this fall, yet the Department of Geology announced its change to the tutorial system on March 22, when conclusive data on the result in biology of the experiment could scarcely have been...
...advent of the dormitory with its communal life has done away with the old Student's Room at the school which used to be the center of activity for the students and of service for the Phillips Brooks House Association. This has resulted in two major groups of students: those who live in the dormitory and those who do not. So far as possible the committee has tried to serve both groups.

It is to be hoped that men in Mr. MacDonald's position and of his turn of mind will not forever be content with the mere discovery that the world is very much like the unfortunate but rather common individual who doesn't know what he wants and won't be happy...
