Prof. Palmer, in his speech the other evening, said that in the last five years Andover has sent 55 men to Harvard, or a quarter of each graduating class, and of this number only 2 failed to pass the entrance examinations...
...that is-so that our vacation will not begin until the middle of Easter week. Why could not the faculty be induced to let us have the whole of Easter week? To those of us who live away from Boston, it is a pleasant thing to be able to pass Easter and the following week at home.

M. It is safe to say that the courses of any one year at the Law School are fully equal in the amount of work required to the total amount demanded of the post-graduate...
