...member of the Freshman class as we intend during the year to choose several editors from their number. If any candidates give promise of proving good men we should like to elect one or two before Christmas. The time, however, when it will be best for us to select a freshman editor rests entirely with the class and there it must rest until '88 has given evidence of its ability...
...these, Chemistry, 1 and 2, and Natural History, 1, 2, 3 and 4, have been thrown open to freshmen. As the Greek and Latin courses named above, are all full courses, there is a grand total of twenty-four full and seven half courses, from which to select the equivalent of these full courses, the amount of elective work required. Besides the courses regularly open to them, freshmen who are particularly fitted, or who have anticipated some of the required work will be allowed a greater range in their choice of studies. The only restriction in the choice is that...
...well, but checked poorly, in the latter respect being easily surpassed by the Harvard twelve. Herron, Blodgett, Rogers and Adams were all unable to go which weakened the team somewhat, and it reflects great credit on the freshmen that they had so large a field of players to select from and still present a good twelve.

...courses nominally involve an equal amount of work, and a certain per cent. in one course is supposed to represent the same excellence as that indicated by the same per cent. in any other course. If this were realized in fact, then students at Harvard would be likely to select those courses which would give them the most benefit. But it is not realized; every course has its reputation as "stiff" or as "soft," and every instructor has his reputation as a strict or easy marker. The student may have to decide between two courses with full knowledge that...
