...which the language clothes. The former requires not only vast knowledge of technicalities, but also of the aspects of nature; and as this knowledge is possessed by comparatively few, few can rightly judge of execution. The thought and feeling expressed in art, however, are common to mankind, and only differ in degree and quality as a larger or smaller sum of the best human faculties have been called into exercise. Remembering this, we do not see how any one can fail to be delighted with No. 7, the head by Velasquez, from its color, still beautiful, and its simple, manly...
...four courses in Chemistry we would advise the student to study well his tastes before making his selection, for the courses differ materially in object. Sophomore chemistry gives a good average knowledge of the province of ordinary inorganic chemistry. While it gives him a little practical and experimental work, it takes him a step into the field of theory and gives him a foretaste of its higher branches. The laboratory work is confined to the study of the most important elements and acids. Junior qualitative analysis is mostly a laboratory course, requiring some manipulation and a fair memory. It consists...
...have received an article on the future of "hazing" in our own University, and though we differ with the author as to the expediency of roughing the undergraduate, we heartily concur with him in many of his ideas.

He deprecates the system of pressure to which the Sophomores were subject in signing the pledge, - a rather violent form of conversion in its true light. Though "Fair Harvard" may overdraw the extent and violence of hazing, there is no reason why it should be pursued even...
...taken out of extra pages, it seems to me the only method of accomplishing in any measure what is required. These examinations demand cramming, and little else, and as such, they are grossly inconsistent with the avowed opinions of all instructors on this matter. The plan does not differ much from giving out the questions of an ordinary examination a day or two previous. The examinations amount to so little as showing the real knowledge of those examined, that, although a good deal of time is uselessly spent in preparation for them, it would be very unfair to give them...
...light by those who desire a change in the present system, may pass into as dark a shadow as that which has fallen upon the requisitions in English reading. These entrance examinations might furnish a basis on which to divide the class into several sections, which should differ from each other both as regards the time when themes should first be written, and also as regards their number. These suggestions are made merely to show that the undergraduates take fully as much interest in this subject as the alumni, and feel just as keenly as they the disgrace that comes...
