...extent the subject of his criticisms. Mr. Trowbridge condemns severely the custom among us of selecting four college courses wich call for entirely different states of mind. Earnest work, in his opinion, can not be accomplished unless a man can give his whole thought to one subject for a certain time, at least three months. He advises selection of courses, which demands like states of mind, philosophy and political economy for example. The writer plainly shows the weak points in our present system.

...plea for more earnestness strikes at the very root of Harvard's ill-success in athletics and journalism.

...time after attention was called to the box, contributions of papers were numerous, but toward the end of the year men grew careless and there was a noticable falling off in the number of papers found in the box. The object is a worthy one and we feel certain that it is only necessary that the attention of the men be called to it again to make the contributions to the hospital as numberous as ever. Few men read their papers after they leave the tables, and either carelessly stuff them into their pockets or throw them away. If they...
