...true, of a pure, new thought, which will not be crowded out, and will in its utterance prove its own intrinsic worth. This, then, we may fairly accept as the basis of Harvard poetry. But what are the poets? Of course we have execrable rhymesters, writers who need not hope for immortality, but the grave. Although a Shelley, a Coleridge, or a Wordsworth may in his college days have penned despicable lines, we have no right to argue that one who here pens more despicable verse will be a greater than Wordsworth.

We sincerely hope that the faculty does not intend to discontinue wholly this time-honored custom...

So the time spent in trying to get a working knowledge of French does not, as in other languages, count for a degree. We shall hope next year to see started a full course which shall simply aim to give practice in reading French...
