...with profit in three years. This is one consideration in choosing electives. Another and an equally important consideration is the arrangement in the groups for examinations. Of course where there are so many good courses it is impossible to prevent several desirable courses from conflicting. In fact it often becomes absolutely necessary to give up some excellent course from the fact that it continually conflicts with other courses a little more desirable...
...college diploma as evidence of general mental discipline, or an examination; a three years course of study; a thorough examination to pass from year to year, and an equally stringent examination for the degree. This is the way to make a learned profession really learned; and as lawyers are often regarded as necessary evils (pace HOOKER), it is a matter of high public concern to render them as innocuous as possible. The immediate call is for the library. A good beginning is shown in securing $40,000 for its endowment, and a little effort and generosity upon the part...

The mere statement of courses catalogued, of authors read and of subjects treated, is often deceptive and is no criterion. The real difference, indeed, is so great between the actual extent of true education performed at either place, that, as we have said, the preparatory course for e. g. Harvard, taken in connection with the work of the freshman year, is a just equivalent...
