...skilled enough to command a good salary. What is needed to insure success is not so much instruction as constant and hard practice. There are so many thorough and systematic textbooks that very little, if any, additional explanation would be required. For this reason, then, it would be a step of very doubtful expediency to make such an innovation as the establishment of a course in "short-hand" would require...
...seems to be that the rule had better be carried out and the question of Yale's acquiescence left to the settlement of the inter-collegiate base-ball convention, which may decide that any college nine which plays a professional nine shall itself be rated as professional. Such a step would prove a more effectual argument to Yale than the courteous ones hitherto used...
...thing which is the strangest to our 'freshman understanding' is the absolute freedom.

This, however, is but a question of detail and in no way affects the merit of the plan of having honor courses more general in their nature. Now that a beginning has been made in this direction there is one other honor course which might well be established...
