...they can bring sufficient pressure to bear upon the Yale faculty to induce them to abolish professional practice at that college. Here, it seems to us, the faculty is at fault. Even supposing such an arrangement could be made, which is a matter of great doubt, the faculty would find further obstacles in this path of reform. The gentlemen who compose the faculty at Yale know too well the advantages of athletic victories. President Dwight believes in athletics as a strong element in college life; in other words, he is as much delighted as any undergraduate at Yale when...
...English A may anticipate one of the three hours required for the examination by preparing a short essay from five to ten pages in length, on the works of one of the authors who have been discussed in the lecture room. The composition must be entitled, "What I find in the writings of-," and it must be presented to the instructors before the 15th of May.

Th. Sat.," or "History 5, the conflict of Christianity with Paganism, Origin and Development of the Roman Primacy to its alliance with the Holy Roman Empire...
...communication which appears in another column requesting a descriptive pamphlet of the History Department deserves attention. All members of the University who are familiar with the descriptive pamphlets of other courses find them of great service in choosing a year's work. They are, in fact, almost a necessity to an intelligent selection. Besides this, few subjects, if any, are studied so widely at Harvard as History: and thus a descriptive pamphlet of this department would benefit an exceptionally large number of men. We therefore second the request made in the communication, certain that the usefulness of the pamphlet would...
