...result of a post card canvass of this year's Senior advisers, in which 57 replies were received from a total of 115 advisers, the Illustrated has found that 93 per cent. favored the system, 3.5 per cent. were indifferent, and 3.5 per cent. were opposed to it. These 57 men together had 327 advisees. Assuming that three-fourths of these Freshmen paid one call to their adviser, when summoned at the beginning of the year by him, the figures show that 200 other calls were made by 327 men. On the other hand, the Seniors paid on the average...

...first place, the fact that "out of the five hundred and nineteen who entered College in September, 1910, only two hundred and one had shown an ability to read either French or German by Christmas of the next year" seems to us very remarkable. Almost 50 per cent. have failed. That these oral examinations easily penetrate, so to speak, the weak points in the Freshman academic armor, is all too evident. This deplorable record is the best proof of the wisdom in the provision of such tests. And that seems to be little doubt that, now that this noticeable deficiency...
President Lowell examined the records of all Harvard men who graduated from the Law school for the twenty years previous to 1910. He found that of those men who graduated from College with a plain degree-that is without a "cum laude"-38 out of 577, or 6.6 per cent, obtained "cum laude" in the Law School. Of those who graduated from College with a "cum laude", 66 out of 290, or 22.7 percent., won this honor in the Law School; of those who graduated from college with a "magna cum laude", 80 out of 204, or 39.2 percent...
