...publish in another column a reply to a previous communication on the present method of study in English VIII. About the same time last year we published a similar communication concerning the parallel course of the one in question, English VIII. But the complaint in the first case was that a too microscopic study of a writer's work was made, while the study of his life was wholly neglected. To criticise the method of study at present pursued by Professor Hill would give rise to a host of suggestions as to the correct way in which a course...

And so unless a single service can be held in which all can have confidence...

...stimulate an interesting competition. While the date which has been fixed is somewhat unfortunate, sufficient time will be allowed for any earnest writer to complete the work. This prize will serve as a valuable supplement to the Bowdoin prizes and offer a premium for excellence in poetical composition. Some complaint has recently been expressed that rhythmical construction is totally neglected in all our English composition courses, and that college poetry is wholly an affair of college periodicals. The Sargent prize will serve to elevate college poetry to official recognition, and offer an inducement to the college poets to pause...
