...present by Professor Taussig, who outlines some of the more striking developments of the last fifteen years. The evolution from the simple Harvard College of 40 years ago, with its loosely connected professional schools of primitive character, into the University of the present seems almost incredible. One would be glad to find, however, in addition to the exposition of facts, something of prophecy for the future. What is to be the result, for instance, of the merging of Harvard College and the Scientific School? Are the A.B. and S.B. to become one degree? Is education of a democracy to make...
President Hyde of Bowdoin has an excellent review of Mr. Eliot's recent volume on "University Administration." Mr. W.R. Thayer writes on "Comparisons: 1869-1909," showing in concrete form a few of the great changes under President Eliot's administration. His list of the buildings added is a sad one; by no stretch of the imagination can many of these be called beautiful. He demonstrates clearly that Harvard is the poor man's college and so the democratic college. This is a point that should more often be emphasized.

Professor Merriman writes with bubbling enthusiasm of the winter quarter. The articles of interest on the last few months include one on the late Dean Wright by his temporary successor, Professor Smyth, loving and sympathetic in tone towards one to whose unfailing kindness all graduate students of recent years owe a debt never to be forgotten. Dean Haskins is welcomed in a cordial editorial. Mr. R.H. Dana as laudator temporis acti shows that last year's success in rowing is due to a return to earlier ways. Professor Jackson gives a review of the work of the late Wolcott Gibbs...

Not the least interesting are the photographs, several of President Eliot, one of President Lowell, by no means the best published, another of Dean Haskins, which does not show the geniality of his face; that of Dean Wright lacks the twinkle of the eye which meant so much...
...more apparent. In October, 1904, the Athletic Committee, believing that the undergraduates were devoting too much time and thought to athletics to the detriment of their college work, decided that no man should represent the University in more than two of the three periods of athletics in any one year. They were unwilling, as was stated by Professor White two years ago, "to countenance the continuous devotion to athletics and the amount of absenteeism involved in membership on some University athletic team during the whole University year." As a result of the regulation, a football player who takes one dive...
