...from Anthropology 4 to Zoology 70. Almost equally various are the reasons why some particular course eclipses all others. The hour may be unusually conducive to mental concentration; Mr. So-and-So, the young assistant, may have a reputation seldom equalled, for sympathetic marking; the subject, although, at first blush unfamiliar, and geographically remote, may promise much in regions unexplored.
