...rapidly dispelling. Already in many cities a certain school is known as a Harvard school, and although it prepares men for other colleges, yet it brings much influence to bear upon the uncertain and directs them toward Cambridge. These schools ought to be encouraged by the university, and if need be, come under the personal supervision of the overseers. Let but three or four such schools be established, say one at New York, another at Philadelphia, one at Chicago, and another at New Orleans, and be watched over by the corporation, let capable instructors, Harvard graduates, be placed over them...

Men have been induced to enter the professional schools after graduation, that they might help retain the championship for certain sports. The evil of such a course is two-fold. It tends to raise the standard of the sport...
...addition to an advanced course of thesis and seminar work in topics of English and American Constitutional and Political history, which we advocated a few days ago and which seems to us the greatest need of the history department today, there is still another course which has been suggested for the department and which many would be glad to see taught next year, if possible. That is a course supplementary to History 2, though of a somewhat different character, involving not only constitutional but also narrative and general history, especially of recent times. This course should take up in turn...
