...professions the necessity of a university education is obvious, and accordingly the law and medical schools of the country offer a practical training to fit the student for his future work. In like manner our engineers and architects receive direct technical and practical knowledge from college courses which apply directly to the profession which the student is later to follow. But what does Harvard offer of a directly practical nature to the man who will spend the greater part of his life in purely mercantile business...
...Murray, a member of the Massachusetts bench, who emphasized the importance of early association and opportunities, in the development of the strength of character necessary for upholding morality and civil liberty. He laid great stress on the adoption of the right attitude by members of the University.

E. Hunt's ballital shows surprising success in a very difficult form of verse. A fantasy like Mr. C. H. Dickerman's "The Haunted Palace" could only be regarded as successful through the excellence of its technique. But the writer allows himself too much license to claim any triumph of this kind. Whenever the thought presses against the limits of the verse, the verse gives...
