...function of a university press has often been misunderstood and has sometimes been interpreted in widely different ways. The need for such a press lies in the fact that some of the most creditable work of the foremost scholars of the world is not sufficiently profitable commercially to tempt the regular publisher. A subsidized institution, however, specially organized to deal with books of this character, can do much to advance scholarship by making possible the prompt publication and wide dissemination of the results of scientific research. Such a press can also advance the prestige of the University by issuing over...
...entirely independent of the conduct of courses, and the tutors as such will have no control over the work or the grades of any student in any college course. Their assistance will naturally be of indirect benefit to the student in his work in individual courses, but their main function will be to help the student and guide him in the kind of reading and study which will be most useful toward his general progress in this Division.

No book can be accepted for publication which does not receive the endorsement of the Syndics of the Press. Besides the above books, which are written by members of the Faculty, or by professors in other colleges for certain...
...that our musical world has been blessed with a successful representative organ, the Musical Review, and will soon be welcomed into an attractive Music Building, might it not also be timely to consider the assumption of a certain representative function for which the College has great need,--a College orchestra? In certain other colleges the official maintenance of a representative orchestra, constant participation and faithful performance in which receives academic credit, is not a new idea, and such orchestra-work can be found listed in their catalogues among the regular courses of their Musical Departments.
