...certain courses. As many men in college are dependent to a great degree on tutoring to pay their expenses, any such move as this, whereby the names of capable tutors are brought before the students, backed up by good authority, is helpful and generous. A scheme of such obvious advantage ought not to be confined to one department alone.

Lately all Exeter and Andover games have been played in Cambridge. There are obvious reasons why this is the more convenient arrangement; and yet we cannot but feel that Harvard, by this policy, is losing ground in these two important fitting schools. it would seem to be a wiser course to pout ourselves to a little trouble for the sake of creating at Exeter...
