...number of themes upon which it lays unholy hands could have been varied with advantage. But the headlines and memorial notices are alone worth the price of admission; and the editorial is so like what the Transcript actually preaches--it is perhaps rather better written--as to suggest that it was contributed in all seriousness from the Transcript office. Excellent, too, is the life of General Edwards which may, one would hope, suppress the possible appearance of the half-dozen volumes of biography which seem destined to appear in defiance of sweet reasonableness. The Book Page is weak...
...should be an essential part of the college course, rather than a forgotten fortnightly chore. This would enable the student to come into closer contact with the teacher, who could discuss with him subjects of immediate interest and link them up with his academic work. The tutor could also suggest and encourage reading in a more intimate way than can be done with a large class. Much benefit could be derived if it were possible for the most prominent members of the Faculty to act in a tutorial capacity. At Oxford, men of real ability are tutors, and the system...
...your editorial of April 10th, you attempt to excuse the inefficiency of the S. A. T. C. by writing that "few men were of college calibre." You go on to suggest that the S. A. T.

In our undergraduate days, few, if any, of us ever realized that the opinion of Harvard College counted for anything, either in the world at large or in the United States. Due to the war and the moving about of men in service we gradually found out that not only...
...Suggestions such as these are valuable but they are not sufficient. It is necessary to have a directing head, a man of high personality who has the interest of foreign students at heart, who is at the same time a member of the Faculty, to take full charge of the situation and apply Mr. Hood's remedies, if practical, and any others that may suggest themselves. Such a man would be a general adviser to all non-American students. He would bring them in from the outskirts of college life to a place near the core and would be continually...
