...that the work is sub-let is absolutely false. The entire work is done at the Boston studio, where the facilities are excellent for developing the negatives. The work is done by Mr. Notman's regular operators and receives equal attention with the rest of his work. It would seem, therefore, that the charges made by your correspondent are unjust and unfounded on fact. He states that his information comes from "good authority." We challenge him to produce this good authority, for charges of this kind should not be made unless substantiated by something more than vague rumor...
...made the study of constitutional questions very interesting by his clear and concise statement of the arguments and principles of constitutional construction. These cases do not really come into the work of History 13, yet as they involve rules of construction and the decision modifies previous decisions, it would seem that Dr. Taussig would confer a great favor on all the members of his large section, by giving at one of his lectures the facts of the cases and the grounds for both the decision of the court and of the opinion of the dissenting judges...
...instruction is of the highest order and extremely thorough. The requirements for admission are the same as those of Harvard in past years. The young ladies recite with their brother-students, and seem to have a peculiar propensity for leaving them in the dim and shadowy distance.

"Can't do it, sir;" and then hears Miss Jones say that it is an anacolouthon. No wonder, he thinks, that so many of our colleges reject co-education...
...regular collegiate training. Is it better for students to go right from the high school or the academy to the professional school? or do students gain sufficiently to pay for the time, and expense by taking the college course and getting the college training? Here, too, it would seem that the balance of argument must be on the side of college education. Indeed, the same arguments which apply to education in business life, must apply, only with even greater force, to education in professional life. We say, "with even greater force," because the intellectual requirements of professions are unquestionably greater...
...with a lecture by Dr. Sargent on "How to get Recreation and Exercise" leads naturally enough to the inquiry why the undergraduates of Harvard are not allowed to listen to a similar lecture from this gentleman. Now that the season of open-air sports is at hand, it would seem fitting that Dr. Sargent should assemble the men who are under his immediate charge, for the purpose of giving them a few words of advice as to how they may most profitably employ their hours of exercise during the spring, and also in the coming vacation. When the success...
