...course on the professions will be given to-night, in Sever 11, by Hon. O. W. Holmes. The subject, "The Law as a Profession," is, without doubt, more generally interesting than any of the subjects which are to follow. Particularly is this true among Harvard men, - who seem to think of the law first, and medicine, ministry, and so on, second in their attempts to choose their future occupations. Harvard actually sends more men into schools of law than into schools of any other profession, and it is very probably true that a good majority of the men in other...
...policy could. There can be no doubt that the requirements for entrance must be raised tremendously in order to effect any radical reform in the teaching given in our schools. There is much misapprehension relative to the average ages for entering a university in America and Germany. Many people seem to think that the average is much higher there than here, and that the matureness of the German students is rather attributable to that fact. But the truth of the matter is, that the mean age in Germany is hardly a year above that for entering such colleges as Harvard...
...opponents of the consolidation are, as has been said, the principal undergraduates. Their objections seem to be sound from an undergraduate point of view. In the first place, there is doubt if a man of sufficient ability could be got to fill successfully the office of chief treasurer: and where ability was found, partiality to certain sports might make him worthless for the position.

...CRIMSON and the "Monthly" then, hold fairly well defined positions. But the "Advocate" in certain ways seems to occupy a middle ground between the "Monthly" and the "Lampoon." It often has stories of the same general character as those which appear in the "Monthly; while on the other hand its sketches and verse are frequently suitable for the "Lampoon." Therefore, for the best success of Harvard journalism, it seems to the present writer that in time a fusion of the "Lampoon" and the "Advocate" will be necessary. The result will be a paper devoted to the lighter side of student...
...CRIMSON. - There are many things in the world with which one can find fault, and he who finds fault with everything may be justly considered a pessimist. It is far from the truth that I consider the communication column of the CRIMSON a pessimist's column, but still there seems to be no other outlet for pent-up feelings over things with which one has become disgusted. The object of my fault-finding may seem small to many, but I feet sure that if it is remedied many will rejoice with me. I refer to the hot water faucets...
