...same magnification. Thus taking the focal length of the eye as ten inches, a one inch objective magnifies ten diameters, a 1-50 inch objective, five hundred diameters; a 1-100 objective, one thousand diameters; (the highest powers made). When the ocular system is added, the magnification is equal to the product of the magnifying powers of the objective times the ocular. For instance, a two inch vocular and a 1-5 objective magnify two hundred and fifty diameters. As oculars are made up to 1-8 and objectives up to 1-100, it is easy to see that...
...another point in regard to this especial system which is open to objection, namely, that the basis upon which are founded twelve separate criticisms by each student, must be the work of different members of his own class. In very truth, if the admission of foreign commodities on an equal footing with home products is the only way to reserve a healthy state of our commercial markets, how will this restrictive high protection act upon the intellectual wealth of those under its action? Shall we find each individual offering to his fellow classmen, products equal to those found...
...subtle connection between "bread and the ballot." It may be that the student of to-day deems it of more importance to have a hand in the election of those who are to superintend the choice of the food which is to go into his mouth, than to exercise equal care in the selection of those who are to choose the men who are to go into his class crew. At any rate, the fact remains that the election of a Memorial Hall director will result in a vote reaching well into triple figures...
...requirements for admission are about equal to those at Harvard, with a little more stress laid on French and German. A student may substitute them for Greek. For the college course, which is generally three years, the student has to choose, with some alternatives, from seven courses of study. If, for instance, he wishes to pursue a classical course, course I would be his choice. This includes Latin and Greek with the alternative of Mathematics or History. In Latin, besides composition there are nine authors to be read, among them Livy, Horace, Tacitus, Cicero and Juvenal. In Greek there...
...them. We do not think it necessary to enumerate the advantages of either of these institutions, but we do think that a little urging is not out of place. Different though the institutions are in the ends for which they were built, their benefit are of about equal value. The man who is at once well read and physically well developed, has chance in his favor that his life will not be a failure...
