From the constitution of the Hall, it will be seen that the Board of Directors have no right to add anything to the bill of fare, if they feel confident that the steward is capable, and by doing his best is keeping the price at $4.00. The Directors are satisfied with Mr. Sullivan, who is now giving much better board than was given two years ago, at a cost of from $4.50 to $5.00, and their intention is to keep the price of board at $4.00 for the year if possible, and keep it up to its present standard...

Investigation, by reference to original sources of all kinds, may be made for the purpose of settling disputed points, or for discovery of unknown matter. The great difficulty instructors at Harvard feel in applying the method of investigation is the lack of preparation of the students when entering college. Our preparatory schools aim not to fit students for study at a University, but merely to enable them to pass the entrance examinations. Consequently the work at Harvard is often more elementary than...
