...least half a dozen very interesting and valuable electives. In English V and XII the instructor has suggested a number of topics for individual work during the last half year, topics which could, without too much dilution, be taken up as the subjects for regular lectures. Courses in pre-Shakespearian drama, on Shakespeare's contemporaries and successors in play-writing, on the development of English fiction, on English verse in its several kinds and stages, on the English essayists, and many similar subjects, would all be very useful. Or, it might possibly be better to have courses arranged to cover...

...readers. They pore over the lists and make their arrangements for the cramming process which most students believe is essential to success. Recitations cease a day or two before the first annual, and the intervening days are devoted in most cases to hard study. Cramming, as this pre-examination study is almost universally called, takes a number of different forms.
