...fuller and correspondingly more interesting. The arrangement of the societies, etc., is about the same as in last year's book, but there is a great improvement in the advertisements, which are better selected and greater in number than heretofore.

Space forbids any attempt to show here the courses of study, or to insert examination papers fitted to show what advanced students are expected to do. The chief fact is that the standards are all the time advancing, while methods are improved and facilities are increased. The library statistics form one index to show student work. Here are over 300,000 volumes and a third as many pamphlets which are here for use. They are not kept like...
