...subject of taking notes, suggested by an article which was published recently in the CRIMSON, is an interesting, as well as a puzzling one. It is probably quite true that too many do not realize the real importance of taking good notes, and that, as Snodkins has been represented as doing, a large number of men pass the recitation hour in playing with their pencils, sketching in their note books, and taking down only occasional references that the lecturer gives...
...looking over the report of the Dean, it is interesting to note the number of students who elected the various subjects last year. First comes History with 521 men; then Natural History with 454; Philosophy, 357; Political Economy, 324; Greek, 229; Latin, 203; English and German, 194 each; French, 189; Fine Arts, 181; Chemistry, 174. We see by this that some of the hardest courses are elected by the greatest number of men, thus showing the falsity of the often-heard statement that, under an elective system, "soft" courses are usually chosen. It is curious to note that Greek...
Snodkins and I take "Polly Kon" together. Snodkins' seat is just in front of mine, so that I get a very good view of Snodkins' back, as well as of the back of his note-book. The other day I thought I would watch Snodkins and discover, if I could, his method of taking notes. He came in just in time to be marked absent by the instructor, spent some very precious moments in getting off his coat, and arranging himself generally, but was at last, I thought, ready to go to work. But not yet. What good are introductions...
...days later I take the pains to borrow Snodkins' note-book, and study well the pages between the hard-worn covers. First, I am pleased to find some writing, "Hollis Holworthy Snodkins, '85, 57 Mattworthy, Camoridge, Mass.," all of which doesn't seem to me to be very important, until I have discovered it repeated on most of the subsequent pages. At times it is mostly "Snodkins, '85," a phrase terse, but so full of meaning! Or, again it is "Snodkins, '85," with, conspicuously near, a reference to "p. 199," or "p. 299." I look up the first reference...
...days ago we received a card, with the inscription,-"The President and Faculty of Wellesley College at home, Monday, Feb. 23, 1885, from 2.30 to 5 P.M." An enclosed note explained all, we were invited to the Reception given to the Wellesley Jnniors, by the Faculty. As it was against our principles to attend recitations on a national holiday, it may be readily imagined that the time we took to make up our minds about accepting the invitation was very short. Accordingly, last Monday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, we found ourselves at Wellesley station, and there our good...
