...individually and collectively, upright living and noble deeds. It thus fills a place in College that could not be filled as well by any other society, with, perhaps, one exception. It is evident, however, that what makes the society fill its place so well is not the purely religious part of its work. There would hardly be found within the Yard fifty persons willing to devote one evening a week to praying and hymn-singing alone. For, thanks to the foresight of our wise overseers, every student has the privilege of listening to songs, praise, and prayer every morning before...
...have no Latin readings? It is proposed by the Greek department that there shall be a Greek reading on every Wednesday night until next May. Why is there no symptom of a like energy on the part of our Latin department? Is it because the Latin instructors feel the position of Latin to be so well assured that any further exertion in its behalf, other than that expended in the regular courses, would be unnecessary; while the instructors of Greek, on the other hand, realize that an animated sympathy with Greek, - such a sympathy as must come from something more...
...necessary to specify what courses it is intended to drop or maintain as extras. Surely the thanks of the class are due to the Faculty, who have so promptly responded to the wishes of a large number of undergraduates, thereby recognizing the right of petition on the part of the latter, - a right the moderate exercise of which is to be commended.

Nor, in the general...
...another column we publish a communication upon what the writer considers dangerous concessions on the part of the College to the principle of co-education. The special grievance that has called this forth is that ladies are allowed to attend Professor Hedge's lectures in German 8, - a regular College course, - and that they have come in such numbers that the elective has been assigned to a new room, Harvard 6, in which there are no facilities for writing, and the ventilation is notoriously bad. So far as this is concerned, we entirely agree with the writer when he says...
...each class who have no taste for philosophy, and who have, therefore, never taken an advanced elective in this course. But when subjects such as the last two, which embrace the whole scope of philosophy, are given out, these men are compelled to devote a disproportional part of their time to Forensics. Besides, what are the advantages of their restriction? Apparently none. It would certainly be more interesting to the instructor to read Forensics on a variety of topics, and if the number of subjects to select from was larger, it would be much fairer, as more men could take...
