...lectures. The majority of the members of the elective have done faithful and careful work in the course, yet the highest mark for the half-years work was 88, while a large number ranged between 65 and 75. When this is compared with a soft course like the Mineralogical half of Natural History 4, where a man does nothing until a few hours before the examination, and easily attains a mark of 90 to 100, it will readily be seen that under the present system, marks are very poor indices of industry or ability...
...have, of late, been prone to claim rather more than their share of public attention, yet we are rather inclined to the belief that there is a place in modern literature which can be best filled by their writings. The fact that cleverness may fail to secure anything like a lasting reputation for its possessor is not a cheerful matter for contemplation, but when it is remembered that lasting reputations are the exception rather than the rule, we can appreciate the spirit in which a man seeks a reputation which may endure only for his own day and generation, rather...

...mildly, we have not too many electives in the subject. Accordingly, a few lectures in Sever would not only supplement the regular college work, but they would get the attention of not a few who might otherwise slight the study of literature. Too many of us are likely to forget, in this age of the science of money-getting, that it is worth while to spend time upon that which can never be turned into bread. And, here, where we are not compelled to study literature, a large number of students, who make a specialty of science or the like...
