...this knowledge. Within recent years Columbia started on the enlightened road of liberal ideas, following the policy which Harvard has so long endeavored to maintain; their last move is in a worthy direction.

The amount of work which would be omitted if Saturday were included in the recess is very small; it is not commensurate with the hurry and unpleasantness of leaving one's home in the midst...
