CONSIDERABLE dissatisfaction has been expressed among the students, especially among members of the Senior class, in regard to the action of the Faculty in preventing men from taking an elective a second time. I refer to English 2, the course in Shakspeare. Fully a dozen men who took the course last year, and became interested in the subject, desired to extend their knowledge of Shakspeare by taking the course a second time. Before making out their elective lists, they consulted the instructor, who assured them that no objection would be opposed to their taking the course again, since different plays...
...agree with the Advocate that the new regulation in regard to extra courses is "unwarrantably severe." We think, on the contrary, that the Faculty have very good grounds for their action. The electing of some eighteen or twenty hours a week up to the time of the semi-annuals, or later, and the constant changing from one course to another, are certainly injurious to the student himself, and are also a source of great annoyance at the office.

As has already been shown, the present system does not allow the same privilege to all, and thus disqualifies some for speaking for the Boylston Prizes. In other words, the way in which instruction is given at Harvard produces the same effect, regard being had to the Boylston Prizes, as a close corporation. To bring up the department of elocution to the proper standard we need more instructors. If these cannot be furnished by the College, all those students who really wish to study elocution should be instructed as much as possible...
These are the plain, unvarnished facts in regard to my Second-Year Honor Examinations. If you were I, would you be surprised...
