...language. It has been found hitherto that a man might diligently study German for two years, and at the end of that time be unfitted - so far as German was concerned - to take either of the courses in history. The reason is, that what has been read in the regular courses has been mostly or wholly poetry and easy fiction, the styles and even the vocabularies of which are radically different from those employed by the German historical writers...
...point in which they fail is in running the wickets. This has at times been fearfully slack and hesitating, and has given them many a needless out. The only way in which this can be remedied is to persuade enough men to practise on Jarvis to play a regular game, and to keep scores.

We have before us the prospectus of a college that has but five regular professors, and yet the curriculum is substantially that of Yale, besides the offer of a special course for post-graduates." Our limited space prevents our copying half so much as we should like, but we cannot help quoting two of the things which, according to the author, a catalogue should...
