Many solutions have been advanced, but none has been shown entirely practicable or satisfactory. It might be that a plan adapted from the English model is the key to the situation. A rule that persons qualifying under the present regulations should complete the requirements in three years, while four-year residents should be obliged to take a degree with distinction or fail, would remove most of the difficulties, provided that degree were brought within the reach of the average man after four years' moderate work. Such an innovation would certainly tend to heighten the intellectual standard of the entire College...
...Freshman Dormitory Scheme" is a timely and serious discussion which will enlighten the Western delegates if they reach it. "The Great Swamp" is a half breed and Indian story, in general plan like Mr. Lawrence Mott's work, with more accuracy but less picturesquencess and dash. In some passages the sentences are monotonously short. "Gentlemen and Seamen" treats of the old merchant sea-captains in New England and of Salem, the old seaport for trade with the East.

The roof of the canopy will be of concrete slabs...

At other universities the plan has met with great success. Regular teams have been organized with insignia similar to those in other branches of sport, and an intercollegiate tournament is held annually between Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania. At Yale there is a fairly large squad, and wrestling promises to become a permanent feature of athletics. So far there has been...
