...combine the three, at the same time making certain restrictions? If, for example, a rule were made that no student's lectures should last longer than ten or twenty minutes, or if the instructor were to set a time for each lecture, according to the importance of the subject given, the student himself would gain fully as great a benefit as he does now, and his auditors, in most cases at least, a much greater. If, in connection with this, the instructor would give lectures now and then on matters that seem to him of special importance or of special...
WITH the increasing interest in bicycles that has been displayed of late at Harvard, has arisen the question, Can we get up and sustain a bicycling club here? There has been some discussion on the subject, but at present we are not aware that any decision has been reached. It is our desire to see such a club formed that has led us to investigate to some extent the history of the vehicle.

Not a word of advice does he get; on the contrary, another puzzling subject is given him to work up unaided. In themes...
...willing to receive suggestions from the students. It is to be hoped that a similar spirit will actuate the architects of our mental gymnasium, - the new hall for recitation and lecture rooms. That these rooms will be properly heated and ventilated, after all that has been said on the subject, we may reasonably expect. There are other points, however, that may be overlooked by those who have not profited by bitter experience. The windows, for instance, in the University recitation-rooms are, in nine cases out of ten, so arranged as to throw the sunlight right into the faces...
