...Board of Overseers. Our irate critics should, perhaps, have expected that Harvard would troop meekly into the Progressive camp. In regard to Mr. Brandeis, the expressions of opinion in the University have been equally in evidence upon both sides. The President cannot and does not try to mould the opinions of the members of the institution of which he is head. And far from wishing him or members of the Faculty to resign their rights and obligations as citizens when they enter academic walls, thinking Harvard men would wish to see them make wider use of their opportunities and influence...
From an editorial in the March Illustrated we learn that the ambition of the present board is "first of all to interest undergraduates and thereby to educate and mould opinion." It is a pleasure to find how near the present number comes to meeting the test so laid down.

He assumes that he knows what is best for the child, and aims his instruction toward these ends, but their nature he does not explain to the child. The fraternalistic method of instruction where the reasons for education are imparted to the educated should...
...that on the northwest gable is about half finished. When the stone on this gable is set, the construction of the roof will progress rapidly. The modillions or carved projections under the saves are being set but the construction on the two southern pavillions has not progressed beyond the mould frieze...
