...characteristic features of President Eliot's report compel the attention of the reader: First, his careful study of a general educational problem-the proper adjustment of the curricula of secondary schools; and secondly, his suggestion of many very interesting questions which come up in the administration of the University itself. One of the most interesting things which he discusses is the group of courses most largely taken by students in the College under the existing elective system. The President does not tell us just where he draws the line between the larger and smaller classes, but he gives...
...improvements in the Gore Hall Library are now complete, with the exception of a small amount of electrical work which has yet to be done. As soon as the Corporation shall have accepted the improved portion, the work of arranging and stacking books in their proper places will be begun. There are three floors fitted for the reception of books. The lower floor has a capacity of 100,000 volumes, while the two upper ones will each contain 60,000 books. The stacks are arranged compactly, leaving, however, sufficient space between them for a comfortable passage-way. In the broad...

The large schools of Boston proper do much to swell the the number, although the smaller suburban schools also send good delegations. Twenty-five states of the Union are represented in the remaining membership of the class. After Massachusetts, the seven states sending the largest number of men are: New York, 63; Illinois, 19; Ohio...
...seems inevitable that some men should always be dishonorable and selfish enough to abuse the library privileges offered by the University. Year after year complaints are heard of the removal of reserved books from their proper place on the shelves; but though the offense is often discovered, the offender himself always seems to escape detection. This is extremely unfortunate. The number of books reserved, especially in some of the larger courses, is necessarily very small in proportion to the number of students who desire to use them. Inconvenience is fairly sure to result at all times, but it is felt...
