...report on the University library, Mr. Justin Winsor describes the method by which books are obtained from the library by students from the Annex, and at the same time, explains what has puzzled so many students, why Annex students are never seen drawing out books. Mr. Winsor says: "A pass book, containing titles of books wished for, is sent by a messenger to Gore Hall twice a day. Many of the titles thus presented have all the defects of inexactness and ambiguity which come from inexperience in using titles, and, as it devolves upon the library attendants to attach shelf...
...long-continued one. History 13, under his management, has been fast becoming, so to speak, one of the prescribed courses of the elective system. The students recognise it as one of the most valuable courses offered by the college, and comparatively few men in each class pass through college without electing it. This is not only an indication of the importance of the subject which the course treats of, but it is also a testimonial to the merits of the instructor. Dr. Hart's absence, therefore, will cause a serious gap in the college instruction. We hope that he will...
...faculty-student preliminary conference, that appeared in the current Lampoon. To many students, it doubtless seems that the proposed deliberative conference is little more than a "sop to Cerberus," and this opinion is, in some respects, well founded.

It is probably quite true that too many do not realize the real importance of taking good notes, and that, as Snodkins has been represented as doing, a large number of men pass the recitation hour in playing with their pencils, sketching in their note books, and taking down only occasional references that the lecturer gives...
Says the Hartford Courant: "The younger Mr. Charles Francis Adams not having found Greek useful to him either in soldiering, or in railroading, the Harvard faculty has decided not to require sub-freshmen hereafter to pass an examination in that language, tho' they may if they want to. It will be Latin's turn next, we suppose. Latin is a "fetich," too, and the decree has gone forth at Harvard that the "fetiches" must go. Perhaps some other things may go with them, but that is Harvard's lookout, not ours...
