...independent judgment of the students, might be furthered in a slightly different manner. When we cannot conveniently move the professors, why should we not move the students? The average student, having no family, might almost as well spend one year in New Haven, another in Cambridge, etc., as stay all the four years of his college course in one place, if he could only be enabled in any case to count the work done toward his degree...
...main point of Prof. Ladd's argument refers to the comparative attendance at two colleges in question. The members of '85 at Harvard "'cared to stay away' only two exercises per week out of twelve, - that is, rather more than 12 per cent. of the whole."

For students rooming at some distance from the yard, and for them principally, such an arrangement would be an excellent thing. At Cornell, they have a large, well furnished, well heated room, containing several long tables covered with "exchanges" graciously donated by the Era. In fact, a place in which the men can read, smoke...
