There are two remedies for this state of things, if it is found that I have represented the case rightly: either to raise the price of board fifty cents or perhaps a dollar a week, or to allow any table to order extra dishes. If the first method were adopted, the expense to each member would not be much, - $20 or $40 a year, - while the Steward would have, I suppose, from about $200 to $500 a week more to spend. If the number of those who could not afford this advance is large, the other plan would be best...
...will be seen that the writer goes a step farther than the celebrated Spinoza; for, instead of assuming a proposition which involves the desired conclusion, he has hit upon the equally beautiful and simple method of stating at once, in ipsis verbis, the things to be proved. If this is the development of reason fished from the ultramarine depths of modern thought, we may save ourselves the trouble of classifying it; for it is an exceedingly nasty creature, and was known to our old-fogy ancestors under the name of gratuitous invective. However, such argument has the merit of being...
...temporary evil - if it be an evil - which attends the growth of our old College into a modern University; and is both the evanescent result and the prerequisite of modern modes of thought. From this general and comparative view of history, philosophy, science, and language, springs that broad, dynamic method, which considers things both in their past, their future, and their relations with coexistent things; a method which narrow-minded specialists have so often and so falsely termed atheistic or utilitarian, but which embodies and necessitates the highest possible conception...
...have failed from want of news. But I conceive that it must have failed from other reasons. The good deeds of life are ordinarily to be taken for granted, and if of an extraordinary nature, become the basis of poetry or serve to illustrate a moral code. The positive method is the method of literature. It clothes the good in forms of beauty, and enlists the aesthetic faculty on the side of the true. The newspaper is the doctor rather than the sculptor, and must sternly set itself to dissect, amputate, and prune away the evils of society, and cannot...
...elective courses where there were enough men for "A" and "B" divisions the method would be the same as in the Freshman class. In small electives there would be but one division, as at present; but the "B" men would be required to attend and recite, while for the "A" men there would be no obligation. The attendance upon monthly examinations of those obtaining over 60% in all their studies should be considered sufficient evidence of residence at the University...
