...Scribner's for March there appeared a severe criticism on Mr. Lowell's "Among My Books," in which the writer, referring to Professor Masson, says: "He has also done a noble work in his Professorship at Edinburgh, where he has accomplished what the united Faculty of Harvard College have thus far failed in doing, for he has created among his own students an ardent love for the study of Belles-Lettres."

This converted the allotment of rooms into a mere opportunity for speculation among the students, for which no capital was required, and of which the profits were often large. A change from such a system is what most undergraduates desire, and the Bursar has succeeded in wording his circular in such a manner that probably no loopholes can be found for the speculator to creep...
