...course more entertaining. Neither will the information they elicit affect instructors' estimates of students' work, for the answers are to be mailed directly to the Division of Education. Their purpose is evidently to enable the department to meet individual needs: a duty easily neglected in large scale education, but none the less important. Foreign experts have criticized American education in that it concerns itself too exclusively with the "average" pupil; Harvard prides itself on ably serving the individual. There is danger in machine-like methods...
...each room. No arrangements have been made to return in a party and those desiring to return by steamer should make reservations early because of the large demand for passage expected during the coming summer. The ticket reduction will only hold for the passage going out, there being none on the return trip or on a round trip passage. The committee in charge has also arranged for hotel accommodations of the party through arrangements with the Harvard Club of San Francisco. Additional information concerning the trip may be procured from James A. Wright '79, 281 Fifth avenue, New York City...
...team. The Freshmen have at least two good men in H. G. M. Kelleher and F. S. Marden, and more should be found when regular practice is started. Arrangements are being made for games with the Dartmouth and Yale freshmen, as well as Exeter, Andover, and St. Mark's. None of these contests are definitely arranged as yet. It has been proposed to follow the lead of various other sports and to hold a Freshman interdormitory series, but the proposition has not yet been passed upon...

I may add that the great central vestibule contained also a large collection of paintings, some of considerable value, but chiefly of portraits of worthless of the university. These, of course, have all likewise perished...
...four-oar crew men remaining in college are Sturtevant 15S., number 5, Sheldon '15S., number 4, Low '16, bow, and McLane '16, coxswain. These men are good oarsmen, but on the whole do not quite average up to those who graduated. It seems fairly certain, however, that none of them will be displaced. The fairly strong Freshman eight of last year, together with those who played football last fall should make up a strong eight. Gilfillan '16S., stroke of last year's second, will be a strong contender for Appleton's position. Stillman '15, Bennett...
