President Dwight often says that the freshmen class do not like him, as they have not bowed to him since the first day at prayers. At four o'clock in the afternoon they meet in the chapel, where they are assigned seats and divided into three or five divisions, according to their entrance examinations. They have three recitations a day with the exception of Saturdays, when they have one and a lecture by the president upon "Common Sense and Righteousness."

In a chemical laboratory, where the room is necessarily full of suffocating fumes, great care should be taken to have good fresh air. If some attention...
...plain that the older and better American colleges are evolving into universities. Whether the old-fashioned A. B. will give way to the masters and doctors degree, or be conferred at an earlier period in the University course or be given as a graduate certificate by first-class gymnasia, like Phillips Exeter Academy, is an interesting problem...
