...number of men have been disappointed at discovering that the half course in elocution which has been put into the curriculum for next year, is only open to those who have had practice in elocution before. This rule bars many men from taking the course, and is especially hard on the seniors, some of whom want to take the course as a preparation for their future life. We hope the restriction now put upon English 10 will be take off, and the course made like any of the other electives. It would certainly be a great convenience to many...
...announcement that a course in elocution to be known as English 10 will be given next year under the direction of Mr. Hayes is good news to many students. It is somewhat remarkable that a conrse similar to this has not been added to the college curriculum are this. If we are not mistaken, elocution, although one of the most practical of all branches of education, has never had a recognized position in any of the departments of the University. Whatever attention has been given to the subject has been out side regular work, and entirely voluntary on the part...
...Phillips Exeter Academy, however, has been a commendable exception to this rule, and at present a fairly large collection of books has been amassed, through the efforts of instructors and alumni.

It is to be hoped that others of our leading preparatory academics will follow the admirably example set by Phillips Exeter...
...Before the game, we had always supposed the Pennsylvanians could play good ball, but, as it afterwards proved, the only honorable thing about the assertion was its undeniable truth; and, in addition, we would suggest that a good course in English grammar might well be added to the curriculum of that university. Men with these placards fastened to the ends of long poles paraded the grounds, ringing bells and acting about as childishly as boys in their kindergartens might be expected to do. During the game the spectators applauded and yelled with delight at every error Harvard made...
...petitions have recently been started by the students of the college which certainly deserve the fullest consideration of the faculty and corporation when they make up the curriculum for the coming college year. The first one requests the establishment of a half-course in elocution, and states in its premises the reasons for such a step; the second one begs for a half course in elementary astronomy, without mathematics. If the curriculum is to be extended for the year 1888-89 there is no good ground for denying the petitions, especially as upwards of forty signatures have been placed...
