...operative Society has made additional arrangements for the purchase of foreign text books and other books during the summer season when the students will be away from Cambridge. As by the aid of the many descriptive pamphlets the students are made acquainted with the books which they will probably need in their courses, it would be for the benefit of all parties that the books should be ordered at once so as to be ready for delivery when college opens in the fall. Permission will be given to order books to persons not now members, upon condition that they become...
...since present study must shape our future career. Classics are given up by a large number of men at the end of freshman year simply because they think that in the active work of life the mere fact of "digging"out a translation in Greek or Latin will not aid them in the world.

...past years the distribution of the elective pamphlets has been the signal of a series of complaints from the students that no aid was given them in selecting courses from the large number of electives, about many of which they know little or nothing. These complaints, as was natural, came chiefly from the freshman class, since they felt the need of this all important information more than the men who were in the upper classes. Yet, even the upper classes felt that no trouble was taken either by the professors or faculty to make their choice easier. We are glad...
