...college in the country has conditions so favorable to the strong influence of an instructor's character, provided it exert itself at all, as Harvard. No longer can a professor make himself felt here by utterances ex cathedra; for, unless he has a "corner" on the subject, his elective may be abandoned. But for this very reason, his influence, wherever it is felt, will enter the more deeply; for there is no compulsion in the reception of it.

The Faculty recognize the liability of a student's loafing through the first half of the year, failing on the Semi, and making it up at the Annual. This mode of procedure they intend to prevent...
