...figures must be obtained by personal inspection, for a manufacturer answering a letter of inquiry would be sure to fall into one or more of the fatal errors enumerated above. The proper method of constructing a schedule is to show the wages paid to each employee through a period of years, but here the statistician is confronted with serious problems. The number of people employed is always difficult to find; and even when that is done he may be unable to compute the duration of the labor because the time varies with different industries, and in different departments...
...author's Introduction comes the sketch of the life of Shaftesbury, written by his son. The letters, that follow, are of considerable literary and historical value, helping, as they do, to build up a pleasing impression of the Queen Anne Moralist, as well as throwing light upon an interesting period of English history. The chief value of the publication, however, centers in the Philosophical Regimen, a new presentation of Stoic philosophy. In speaking of its author, Dr. Rand writes that he is the greatest stoic since the days of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius and that into his own life...
...great advantage. The second team tried about twelve plays against the line but failed to gain any ground. The first eleven gained almost at will through the line, but fumbling and poor interference marred the end running. On account of the Columbia game today, only one fifteen minute period was played.

In the preliminary practice Kernan and Stillman made an average of fifty yards on their punts, and Ellis, who a week ago made no better than twenty...

For such a collection not only recent photographs are desirable but even more interesting are those taken long ago, such as those made by Professor Cooke in 1842-44, which are among the very earliest photographs made in this country. If every period from that time to the present day could be represented, and if the students now in College and their successors will take pains to add to the collection, a continuous record of the growth of the College, of the greatest interest and value, will be formed...
Harvard had not stood still, however, in the period between its founding in 1636 and the year 1872. Started as an English college, with all or many of the English traditions, there had been from time to time considerable innovations. In 1820 the first degree of Bachelor of Law was conferred by Harvard, but as yet there was nothing at all parallel to the German "Faculty of Philosophy." In 1872 the Harvard Graduate School was created to fill this need...
