...judge is the difficulty of the shot. Both Mr. Ross and Mr. Angell write earnestly, and Mr. Angell comes to a conclusion arrived at by a committee of the Faculty long ago--that there is too much lecturing for the outside work which the lectures demand. On the other hand, it is possible to overdo long personal conferences and "small meetings." They may, even more than lectures, explain what the student should discover for himself; and they may require of the professor more hours a day than the day contains. President Eliot is said to have observed that the trouble...
...decide which side of the question it will defend. The preliminary trials will be held on Wednesday when each man will speak for five minutes. As many men as prove valuable in the judgment of the committee will be retained. All men wishing to try for the team must hand in their names to R. H. Smith '10, Stoughton 24, before 7 o'clock tomorrow. From the second trial on next Friday, at which ten-minute speeches will be delivered, 12 men will be chosen, and from the third trial of ten-minute speeches on next Monday, six men will...

Dartmouth on the other hand, has won but one game so far this season, defeating Columbia by the score of 5 to 2. The players have at no time reached the standard set by the team of the previous season. Judging from the comparative records, Cornell should have little difficulty in defeating Dartmouth this evening...
...copies of Callender's "Economic History of the United States," lately published, three in Gore Hall and five in Harvard Hall; and we try, particularly by means of the large duplicate collection in Harvard Hall, to keep fairly abreast with the demand in the large courses. On the other hand, there are certain books which men are expected to buy for themselves and which we do not attempt to duplicate. There are, of course, others of which our supply of one or two copies is inadequate, and some such cases will doubtless always exist, since only a small sum (comparatively...
