Indeed, such an instructor must regard his explanations as of very little value, and think that the text-book contains all that is requisite, when he thus deprives half of his division of all benefit in his instructions, except such very unsatisfactory scraps as can be obtained from those who were not called upon to write. We cannot see the object of this arrangement, unless it be to counteract the tendency, engendered by voluntary recitations, of "cutting" an instructor from whom nothing can be learned outside of the text-book, and we think such "cutting" would be placed...
Public, College, and Society libraries may be serviceable, and are undoubtedly necessary. No private individual can hope to acquire so large, so valuable, or so comprehensive a collection of books as a rich and well-managed library. The great benefit of any library is that it has books on all subjects, and we can find something in it on the transit of Venus or the restored digamma.

The writer suggests that, as an improvement for the benefit of the rowing-men, new rowing-weights should be provided, and the seats for these weights should be placed as in a boat, to facilitate learning the stroke from skilful oarsmen, and to approach more nearly the disposition of a crew when on the river.

The lectures will be given on every Saturday through the academic year, at University 16; they will be delivered in French, and their...
College societies might inaugurate the movement successfully; for each has authority enough to insure the support of the undertaking. An invitation from any of them would doubtless be as favorably answered as heretofore. The influence of societies would make itself felt beyond the list of members, and the benefit to the College of such associations would be less doubtful...
