...Harvard University recommends to its students, assuring them that it is sufficient for their preparation to enter on the advanced course of that institution." (The italics are copied from the "A. E. M.") Few could gather from such a question that the Catalogue of Harvard College really says: "No particular text-book in grammar is required; but either Allen's or Harkness's Elementary Latin Grammar will serve to indicate the nature and amount of the grammatical knowledge demanded." Still fewer would conjecture from this question, what all intelligent teachers of Latin in America ought to know, that the book...
...secure these desirable results, to merely vote for an open election; for unless each member of the class votes in the spirit of such an election, with an eye single to class interests, nothing has been gained to Class Day itself. If an open election recommends itself to any particular element in the class, as the means simply of securing to itself the lion's share of the offices, we may be sure that Senior classes, in one college at least, are yet too far from that general manliness and keener sense of honor which are essential to the best...
Every study is best pursued in a particular condition of the intellect; mathematics require one state, languages another. If we could, in childhood, so act on the mind as to fix it permanently in any condition, We could produce in the child a preference for any study; if, in later years, we had the power of influencing the mind so as to favor the state in which it had become settled, we could greatly increase its power in its favorite study. From these considerations comes my theory, - a theory which I state as follows: It is possible, by feeding...
...ball after having caught it on the bounce or fly; but with this exception we seem to have gained nothing of importance. The fault does not rest with our delegates. As before remarked, it is utterly impossible to make up rules by compromise that will suit all. Some one particular game, and that the best game that can be found, should be adopted, and every college should conform strictly to its rules. In giving up our so-called "Harvard Game," we worked a complete revolution in our system, and allowed the ball to be carried whenever caught. The suggestion that...
Occasion was taken, en passant, to revile that serviceable sheet, the Boston Herald. I have no wish to join issue upon every particular statement of the article in question, but it strikes me that in this case, as in the other, injustice is done to a popular favorite. As a news-teller the Herald is unequalled in Boston, and certain editorials occur to me that would do credit to any paper. I might refer to one entitled "An Oriental Lesson," in a Sunday Herald of recent date. Its stand on the currency question is certainly of the soundest...
