There will be at Sever 11, at 2 P.M., Monday next a meeting of those who wish to take English VI next year. The plan of the course will be explained and applications will be received...

To the outside world, that received from one is as good as the from the other, and so both are regarded as worthless. They are given in accordance with no general plan and for no special proficiency in any particular branch, but each year an army of Doctors of Divinity, Doctors of Law, etc., is turned loose upon an unsuspecting community that had, up to that time, lived in blissful iignorance of the latent talent wasting in its midst, and destined...

When a student has acquired a certain roundness, it should be the next step for that student to develop some especial talent with which he is endowed. This is made possible in a greater degree under an elective than a prescribed system, and in this possibility of "one sided" intellects becoming still more "one sided" is the virtue of the new regime...
