"A few of the wealthier students, however, own note-takers which are run by a small electric motor, and these luxurious individuals send their instruments by some friend, and save themselves the trouble of coming." - Cornell...
...regard to these series of the "Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science," it is worthy of note that the writers of the various studies are by no means all Johns Hopkins men. Harvard and other colleges have been well represented. Indeed the writer of this new work, "American Constitutions," is a Harvard graduate of the class of 1849.

Of course the conclusion follows at once that it is policy for instructors to do some...
