...results of value. The subject is no more technical than that of political economy or the study of finance. It is kindred to the subjects of many courses, and it could be conducted in a manner that would connect it intimately with them. Objection may be urged against this plan, on the ground that similar courses are given in the Law School, that are open to students in the academic department. These courses in the Law School are, however, deeper and more special than is called for by the time or disposition of general students. Reference to the Yale curriculum...

While this side of the question may be true, it is none the less true that students can make...
...gymnasium. Speculation is rife whether or not the scheme will be successful. In order to raise the required amount, the alumni will have to be depended upon for the greater bulk of the money and with them rests in a great measure the successful issue of the plan. A committee of three has been appointed to canvass the alumni of the college for subscriptions. According to all accounts the alumni who have so far been seen have given their hearty support to the plan verbally, but it yet remains to be seen what they will do financially. There...
