...dressing-rooms are very convenient, and since a mirror has been hung in the hall, the girls seem to appreciate them; they do away with the bother of going to the rooms to prepare for exercise, making the operation much quicker and easier. Each room is furnished with a stool, hooks, and a locker for the suits...
...fears that Professor Ladd expresses as to the results of the New Education, to one who is not predisposed to feel them, seem groundless. Is there a greater smattering and shallowness of study under the elective than under the prescribed system?

Now the writer maintains that there is no such morbid, pessimistic feeling among the students of Harvard, nor even among the literary men of the college, as this last number would seem to imply. In every issue, there has been a more or less marked fondness for the weird and sombre, but in this Christmas number, all disguise is thrown off and we are fairly overwhelmed with gloomy forebodings. The oppressive darkness is unrelieved by any lighter piece. The thoughts in the Monthiy...
