...Three Year Plan" by Professor Hall is a remarkably sane and clear presentation of the tendency towards a shortening of the College course. The point that the increased weekly number of lectures necessary to the three-year plan will diminish the hours spent in actual work is well taken. It is a real objection to the shorter course...

The method here is absolutely sane and sound, the style is lucidity itself, fact is everywhere kept clear from inference, and there is no gush. There is not a silly sentence in the book. What reader of Dowden or Fleay can say that...
