...scattered through the work, greatly adding to its effectiveness, and particular attention has been paid to the principal conditions of the great modern treatise through which the historical formation of the present system of European states can be observed in the best manner. The value of a book like this to the members of any of the historical courses, especially such courses as 11, 12, or 15, can only be appreciated by those who have had the benefit of the "Epitome" during the recent examinations. In the preface, the translator extends his thanks to Dr. Edward Channing who prepared...

...custom of attending the theatre in a body has been abandoned by our freshman classes. Eighty-five was the last class which paid full observance to the time-honored rite, though eighty-six was represented at the Boston Museum by forty of its members, early in the freshman year. Like all questions of grave import, the abolition of these student theatre parties was vigorously discussed before it was finally determined upon. It was, in truth, a case where "much might be said on both sides." Perhaps, after all, it was well to abandon the traditionary usage, but still, many...
