...instruction and the general methods pursued are unexceptional, and the department in Physics is also strong. But in Physics, one or two improvements can be made which would, we think, meet the wants of many scientific students in a more satisfactory way. We discover, in looking over the college curriculum, that the provision for the study of electricity and magnetism is in some respects inadequate. We refer particularly to the absence of an elementary laboratory course in these subjects. The only course in which a knowledge of them can be acquired is in Physics C where only the last four...
Indeed, Yale must be in a strong position when it can rest for its pre-eminence on "traditions." In how strong a position Yale is at present the readers of current comment know, with alumni on every hand crying for a new president and a new curriculum, for an abandonment of those antiquated methods which have left Yale far in the rear of these modern times...

There is another very important omission from the Columbia school curriculum - Comparative Commercial Law and Commercial Treaties...

The excellence of this department in the college curriculum is well known, and the courses fairly popular; so a course of lectures on modern thought would instruct a large number of appreciative and intelligent students. Let us hope that a representative of some school of philosophy, not favored by our professors may be induced to come to Cambridge...
