...list in those studies; but to read anything in either language besides what is read in class, is an idea that never enters his mind. For him, the finest library has no more attractions than his own collection of well-thumbed text-books.

The Secretary of a late class, in a letter to the Crimson a few months ago, showed at length that the "lives" amount to little more than a farce. "Less than sixty per cent. of the class write anything at all," he wrote; and if this is the case...
