...cent below the average for the express purpose of lightening his own work. This course of action seems to suggest - what is elsewhere apparent - that some of the professors forget that students make a university, and that professors' chairs have been endowed for men whose work it is to instruct students. It is therefore highly unjust that instructors should continue this practice in order merely to suit their own convenience. If the work becomes too much for one man he ought to get assistance, but never to turn his peaceful marking-machine into a weeding-machine; for the uses...

In the first case, students should be encouraged to take them, and if the instructor finds it inconvenient to instruct them all in the existing number of sections, then that number should be increased.

Certainly, within the boundaries of so wide a realm as has been proposed, there will be much to interest and instruct all who have any taste for the refining arts; and for the advantage of those who cannot become members of the Art Club, we are requested to repeat the offer made at the beginning of last term.

...powerful stereopticon upon a large canvas screen. The lecturer will be Mr. Leonard Waldo, Assistant at Harvard College Observatory, who accompanied the expedition as Assistant Astronomer. The lecture will be one of importance to those interested in Astronomy, and yet will be so presented as to amuse and instruct a popular audience. Only 400 tickets are to be issued; 200 have already been secured; the remainder will be for sale at the University Bookstore after Wednesday noon next. The proceeds of this entertainment will be for the benefit of Mission work in Cambridge...
