During the past few days we have heard one question above all others: "Do you know a good half-year course for the second half-year?" Various replies have been given, ranging alphabetically all the way from Anthropology 4 to Zoology 70. Almost equally various are the reasons why some particular course eclipses all others. The hour may be unusually conducive to mental concentration; Mr. So-and-So, the young assistant, may have a reputation seldom equalled, for sympathetic marking; the subject, although, at first blush unfamiliar, and geographically remote, may promise much in regions unexplored. Such arguments seem...
...last half-year primarily in order to come in contact with the men who deliver the lectures. How many of us, particularly those who specialize, arrive at the last mid-year milestone with a personal acquaintance with professors in our own particular department, and yet have never heard a lecture by some of the men most truly representative of the best in Harvard's Faculty! To go through Harvard without having sat beneath at least three or four of her greatest masters, is to let slip an opportunity, for which practically every one of us chose Harvard in preference...
...those who recently heard Professor Bliss Perry's brilliant lecture on "Dickens", in Comparative Literature 12, or to those who are already familiar with the inimitable Dick Swiveller, the Artful Dodger, Mr. Pecksniff, with his air of injured innocence, Miss Sarah Gamp or her omnipresent friend Mrs. Harris, little urging to hear Professor Copeland need be given. To those unacquainted with some of the most familiar and lovable characters in fiction, the reading this evening offers a rare opportunity in this land of plenty...
Again Professor Copeland is to favor us with one of his inimitable readings. To those who have heard "The Bell Buoy," "The Critic," or "John Anderson" (not to mention the frequent requests as to the proper adjustment of ventilation, repression of noises, etc.), Professor Copeland needs no introduction. But for the benefit of all new men we would say that the Union Dining Room has a regrettably limited seating capacity and no one enters after 9 o'clock. We can conceive of no more profitable way of spending this evening than listening to Professor Copeland...
...heard some proud possessor of an A.B. degree complain a few months after Commencement how little he really knew of the practical side of life, and how little preparation his four years of liberal education had given him to win out in the competition of the work-a-day world? Perchance to him the graduate of the down-town commercial school has seemed better fitted for the struggle. Again, who has not heard the engineer graduate of some well-known technical school, successful and perhaps well up the ladder in his particular field of mechanics -- electricity, automobiles, or what...
