...kindness of the architects we are enabled to present to our readers, with this issue, a plan of the first floor of Sever Hall, and a view of the exterior. The building will be far more handsome on the outside than any of the present College buildings, so that beauty has not by any means been sacrificed to convenience. The convenience, we had almost said the luxury, of the interior arrangements seems to be all that could be desired. We are especially glad to see that a rational system of ventilation has not been considered unnecessary, as it was when...
...made such a name in this department. We are glad to learn also that this course, if successful, will be the beginning of a series of University Lectures, given under the control of the University, but supported by outside subscriptions. It is certainly a much more sensible plan to give lectures of this sort in Sanders Theatre, and have them open to the public, than to confine them to resident graduates and a few others, as was done in the former courses...
...real gain in working for them. It must be borne in mind that an honor-system necessarily starts with the supposition that its inevitable bad results, such as studying for marks, will be counterbalanced by its good results.

We do not see any reason why the question should not be decided at once, so that every one can have a chance to understand the new system perfectly...
...students to greater effort for good scholarship, and to reward men who are, it is said, unjustly deprived of reward. The effect in the first respect will be, on the contrary, to diminish the total amount of true scholarship among the students. The value of honours under the new plan will be much less than that of the present ones. The very value of graduating honours at present is that there is a general interest as to who obtains them; there will be much less interest taken in a list embracing a large proportion of the class, - it will rouse...
