...says about, I cannot tell, since my proof stops short in the middle of a word, and the time vouchsafed by the Magazine to a reviewer precludes my getting the rest. Among the editorial articles not thus cut off, the most important urges the appointment of a committee to prevent congestion of evening lectures, concerts, readings, and plays. The writer may be interested to learn that there is such a committee at Radcliffe College, where if lectures are less numerous, plays are not.

There is nothing, of course, to prevent anyone from laying out his work to suit himself, but experience proves that the majority of undergraduates are incapable of spreading it out judiciously, and leave everything until the last minute.
