...would be placed before the public in a false light; that certain low grades, for which there would be perfectly valid excuses, could not be explained to the many friends who would see the marks. These statements are all perfectly true. There would undoubtedly be at first a great deal of unjust criticism on the part of outsiders who knew nothing of existing circumstances. But, on the other hand, there is strong reason to believe that there would be a decided stimulus to better College work. The whole question, then, resolves itself into this simple form; is not the sacrifice...
...what do these six courses cover? They skip superficially over ancient art they deal with certain phases of the Renaissance, and they take up the process of engraving. True, there are two courses on Archaeology given by Dr. Chase which supplement the study of ancient art. But there is absolutely no mention whatever of the German and Dutch schools, of the later French schools, of portraiture or modern painting, of the Preraphaelite or English school with the sole exception of Turner.

The reasons for estimating the value of a sport by Harvard's success in competitions are not good reasons. The very teams of which we speak would be immensely helped if every man that went out for them...
...most neglected fields in the range of undergraduate matriculation is that of public speaking. Too many courses are chosen which deal only with the intellect in terms of books and ink; too few, which teach their own use. It is a pity that so few college men realize that the training which a university affords is not the accumulation of a mass of miscellaneous knowledge and erudition, but a preparation for the outside world. And yet so many men persist in disregarding the one requisite which is the most beneficial in every-day life--the ability to talk. Think...
