...striking contrast to this state of affairs is the condition of the German department. First of all, the department has no head. It is a disgrace to Harvard College that it has no full professorship in German. This condition of irresponsibility probably accounts for the absolute lethagy which has characterized this department of instruction. Some one instructor ought to be made to feel the necessity of making strenuous efforts to improve the students' facilities for pursueing so important a branch of study.

"Yale still stands by Professor Sumner and his free trade doctrines." comes the word from New Haven. Quite in contrast with this narrow policy is the liberal course which Harvard has pursued. Although our professors are nearly all free traders, nevertheless, Professor Thompson was last year appointed lecturer on protection. Which policy is best calculated to influence students in a search after truth and knowledge...
