Though Harvard has not a school of education, separate from the college, the department is well known and widely attended. After an increase of 66 2-3 per cent. in enrolment during the last two years, it will probably become a graduate school in the near future...
Statistics compiled by the CRIMSON and published yesterday indicate that the New England States with their famous secondary schools are far from producing proportionately the greatest number of men of college distinction.

If budding dramatists do not exist in the College nothing can be said; but assuming there are men of latent writing...
