...have been established, wholly or in large part as experiments, which are important because they introduce into undergraduate work an entirely different method of study from that hitherto pursued. These courses are open only to graduates and to 'undergraduates of high rank or special promise,' and are intended to afford an opportunity for the special investigation of topics under the guidance of an instructor...
Without going further, then, we can see no harm in permitting 'competent students' - who only, according to the words of the announcement, are to be afforded the privilege of entering these courses - to take two courses of this kind. It seems clear enough that no one would be likely to engage in two special investigations and limit his field of work to such narrow lines, unless for good reason and with definite aim.

Cambridge is not such a dull place during the winter term as might naturally be inferred from a glance at the immediate surroundings of the college. The series of concerts given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra affords ample opportunity for the lovers of music to gratify their tastes, and the Chamber Concerts and annual concert of the Glee Club...
