...library, it is pleasant, to say the least, to learn that any improvement has even been thought of by the authorities. The suggestion of providing suitable accommodations for those students who are not resident at the university is a valuable one. Such provision for "day students," would, in effect, be equivalent to founding a system of small scholarships; since many men of small means, who live in town within easy travelling distance would be enabled, while living with their families and thus avoiding the expense incident to a university residence, to avail themselves fully of our educational advantages...
...Raff and Jensen. The last, especially, was given with great delicacy and tenderness of sentiment. Berlioz's admirable adaptation of Weber's rather commonplace Invitation to the Dance, formed the lighter part of the programme. As ever, the delusive close brought out the usual premature applause, and the effect of the last few bars was spoiled. The Mozart "Jupiter" Symphony, which formed the principal part of the programme, met with a very unenthusiastic reception from the audience. In fact, in this direction Mr. Gericke does not seem to have at all accurately measured the wants and tastes of Cambridge audiences...

Classics, however, are now abolished entirely, and this cannot fail to have an important influence on the system of education pursued at the public schools, and must eventually exercise a diminishing effect on the number of university candidates. The importance of Classics as a branch of education has long been disputed with considerable ardour and ferocity; but there can be no doubt that a very important vote has now been registered against them...
...Finance Club suggests the following subjects to those intending to try for the Cobden Club medal: "What Safe Basis could be Found for a National Bank System in the Event of the Entire Extinction of the United States Debt?" "The Effect of a Customs Tariff on Wages," "The Effect of our Public Land System on the National Growth." This medal is given under the auspices of the Finance Club, and any present undergraduate may contest for it. A candidate may present an essay on any economic subject other than here mentioned, provided it be approved by the committee of award...
