...article in a recent issue of the Alumni Bulletin, advocates a further extension of the study of source material in the field of government, where it has already proved successful in a limited degree. This system, he points out, has the disadvantage of not covering very much ground in a limited time, and therefore cannot be expected, at least under present conditions, to displace entirely the more common methods of teaching. But there are so few good lecturers, and stimulating text-books are so scarce, that the study of information at first hand has plenty of room in which...
...method of presenting material in government to undergraduates is by lectures and text-books. This plan has decided advantages. It is the most effective and economical system for presenting basic facts, principles, and descriptive material to large classes. It also makes possible the covering of a large amount of ground in the minimum of time. For many institutions without research bureaus or special libraries containing a wide variety of source-material it is the only practical plan. The lecture text-book method, however, if used exclusively in government has certain advantages, especially for advanced students. It is not the most...
...occur was all the less explicable. Simultaneously, the rats and ratlings poured up from their cellars by tens, scores & hundreds, to hurry, drab and sopping, out to the old Lea Valley Road toward high, unflooded Epping Forest. Pedestrians and cyclists on the road did not pause or hold their ground as the pattering squealing rats approached.

...young composers of the day, sending tunes from Tristan and Siegfried watered and warped into a thousand insignificant attempts. But Strauss even then could stand alone. He quoted, to be sure, from Rheingold but he quoted deliberately, when it suited him to have Wagner pop out of the back-ground of his libretto as the great forerunner of himself?the great Strauss. The story, as it was played, followed an old Dutch legend of a mid-summer festival with bonfires & a burgomaster's daughter & a bookish boy too long boxed up. Philadelphia critics, as well as critics who had taken...
...often held a hotbed of conservatism. Out of this hotbed springs next month a rarity; a wholesale educational experiment. When Harvard men come back from Christmas holidays classes will not be called.* Last spring the governing boards approved a vote of the faculty of Arts & Sciences. Educational machinery ground out of this vote a plan. Instead of attending lectures the two and one half week period before mid-year examinations, the students will read books. These books selected by appropriate professors, will be supplied the library in quantities; will have direct bearing on the studies of the earlier term; direct...
