...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 of study in English literature should be carried on. We do not wish to censure our critic or criticise the ground which he has taken, but in a course which is so given up to independent research and individual work as English VIII, the criticism must...
...Finance Club? A stirring lecture from some prominent financier or able business man would do much to gratify a widespread interest in college. Active legislators are prone to sneer at college theorists and their ideas. Why not invite a representative of this school of the world to attempt to correct these ideas. Two lectures from different stand points on this very silver question would shake the two schools together, and might increase the respect of one for the other...
...that, whatever combination of studies we have to deal with, individual marks and averages must be on a coarse scale; the system I suggest will be less definite, but more correct and just, than the present system.

Each man will simply get credit for what he has done, and he will therefore aim at true proficiency, in place of any false...

From this...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - There is something which stands in need of correction in one of the many "Clubs" now existing at Harvard. The club I mean is the "Shakespeare Club," and the matter I mean is the spelling of their title; they spell it "Shakspere." Now there is no authority whatever for this spelling; if there is, I should be most happy to have any member of the club to produce it. I can give him all the names be wants for my way of spelling it, whereas I am afraid he would be hard put to obtain seven well...
