...educational methods than anything the University has done in recent years. It constitutes an admission of the failure of our present system of scoring courses to insure that the student will obtain a broad and comprehensive view of his field of study.

Comparing the figures for the two years, it can be easily seen that the new rules have resulted...

In 1895 it was found expedient to revise and enlarge with great care the hymnal which Edward Everett Hall, Phillips Brooks, Alexander McKenzie, and George A. Gordon had compiled nine years before, and now, after seventeen years that have seen even greater changes in the University, it is no wonder that the need of revision is again felt. No attempt was made by the second group of compilers to provide for the families and friends of the professors who compose so large a part...
