...year and in subsequent years, so far as is possible, in accordance with the groups on the Tabular View. We also understand that some change is to be made in the work of Chemistry 1. There is to be more laboratory work next year than there has been this, none of the work being in Qualitative Analysis, but all in connection with the lectures; the lecture-room experiments will be repeated by the students. Some change may be made, too, in the relative number of recitations and lectures. One mistake in the Elective Pamphlet should be noticed. Fifteen hours - including...
...petitioned the Directors to be exempted from its provisions. At their meeting on Wednesday the Directors acknowledged the unfairness of the rule by rescinding it. Other petitions for deduction for the same reason as mine came before them, however. They voted to allow deductions covering the last recess, but none earlier; and, as a consequence, quite a number of claims - mine among them - were denied.

To eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge is dangerous, so the Russian government removes from the knowledge to be administered all evil effects. From the gymnasia - preparatory schools with a seven years' course - the candidate is admitted into the university with...
THERE need be no discouragement at the prospects of the Nine, and there would be none if the College at large was aware how good the material of the Nine really is. Most of those men who have been nominally training have not so far taken a course calculated to raise the greatest hopes of their success, but we feel confident that they are capable of a great deal. What is needed is good faithful training on the part of the men, and constant attention from the captain in keeping them at work. During the vacation they will have...
