...speaking for the Boylston Prizes is to take place in a little less than three weeks, those who intend to take part are beginning to be interested as to the method in which the two trials are to be conducted. We fully realize the difficulties in the way of a satisfactory arrangement, but it seems to us that something better could be devised for a preliminary trial than merely having the Boylston Professor select twenty of the speakers to take part in the final contest. When we consider the fondness of judges for making an award which shall astonish everybody...
...hope that Harvard may be represented in the American Henley. It seems most practicable to enter our Crew for the eight-oared race, in which they would probably meet Princeton and Columbia.

In general, it may be said that Russian universities are modelled after the German fashion. The time of the course is not prescribed, although an attendance of at least four years is expected from a student...
...definite and much more sensible work to do, - they are intended to furnish inducements to study. And the question is not whether the new honors are in themselves more or less valuable, but whether they are better fitted to encourage study. The writer, at least in the first part of his article, seems to think they are not; that because so many men will receive the lower grades of honors, the list will have no interest to any one. But it is not easy to see how the interest felt in honors which four or five men or which...
