...attention to the vigorous growth of this branch of the University under his care. It is now felt that the migration of advanced students from one university to another should be promoted, and that, to this end, the only prescription as to residence, should be the general statute-not less than one year's residence for every ordinary degree. A Graduate Fellowship without stipend has been established as an experiment with the title of John Harvard Fellow. It is hoped thus to offer acceptable distinction to men of high scholarship who do not need pecuniary aid. Professor J. H. Wright...
Discussions on the adoption of an honor system in examinations continue and the question of the advisability of this step and the force of such systems as are at present used, has been debated many times in the Unions, societies, and less formal debates. The Princeton honor system is the main subject for discussion, as the conditions there are more like those at Yale than any other college.

It happened to be at hand and was therefore used. It is evident that the impression obtained on the plate is rather a print than a negative...
Whatever the cause is that produced the effect, it certainly worked through a thickness of wood which at one place was not less than one-half an inch. At other places the thickness of the wooden shield was only about one-eighth of an inch, but it is very difficult to distinguish on the plate the part that was covered by the extra thickness. It is evident that an effect would have been produced through more than one inch of solid wood...
