...some one said last year, Harvard is moulting. She is in a transition state. In some respects, she is already wholly unlike the American colleges, whereas in others she retains her old form. Now we hope our readers will not misunderstand what we are going to say. What we are going to advocate is not a step backward on the part of the students, but a corresponding step forward on the part of the Powers that Be-a recognition of the progress of student public sentiment...

The editor has done more than one would gather by glancing at the title-page; he has not only abridged much that is unnecessary to-day in the original text, but he has added a great deal of matter in the form of extensive notes. A number of diagrams have been inserted in order to aid the student in getting a graphic representation of the principles, while a number of charts, valuable not only for reading, but for continual reference have been scattered through the volume. In every possible case, American illustrations...
