...need of such a course, not only as a great aid to men in their note-taking in college, but especially as valuable for such as intend to make the law or journalism a profession. We understand that the faculty would not be willing to have such a course count for a degree, on the ground that such an accomplishment is not part of a liberal education. Waiving the objection, although it can apply with equal force to some courses already in the curriculum, we think that a sufficient number of men would take it as an extra to warrant...
...CRIMSON gives Mr. Bowen its best wishes for the issue of the venture on which he is so soon to start off. The "Count" deserves success; and, if it only depended on the number of his friends, he would certainly get it. With all the faults which are laid at the door of Harvard men,- of which, no doubt, an inconsiderable portion are justly attributed to them-they can not be charged with being indifferent, or callous toward pluck, and enterprise, when shown in their midst.

In the matter of prizes the record of Saturday stood: '85, two; '86, tow; '87, one; '88, one; Law School, one.

Just now important an element of study note taking is, perhaps it is hard to say. Doubtless the instructor regards a good note-book in a certain degree as an index of good attendance, and good work. The value to the student is here seen in the mark that he gets. But marks cannot...
...gambling rooms at 146 A Tremont street, are pronounced by the Advertiser to be "the rendezvous for young men of wealth and education.' The "Royal," as the establishment is called, is said to count among its best customers the undergraduates of Harvard and other colleges. "The freshmen and sophomores of the colleges, and those upper classmen whose taste for miscellaneous gambling outlives their verdancy, make the "Royal" the centre of their senseless and criminal amusement. It is reported that gambling at Harvard and other colleges has increased rapidly within a few years, and although most of the older students...
