...present a few facts which seem worth publication in view of off repeated statements about Memorial board? The high price of board there during the fall has been attributed to the "transient" system. Three or four hundred men are eating there now under this system and about five hundred on the American plan. It is then important to know whether this accusation is true...
...October the number of boarders on the "fish and egg" system averaged 800. The average total cost of board to each of them was $5.96 per week.

As regards courses of instruction, the article explains that Harvard offers more than any other university, and her faculty is the largest and most eminent in the country. Interesting statistics concerning the elective system are given, and Dr. Slosson is of the opinion that the system is on the whole advantageous. The writer believes that for earnest students who desire to complete the course in three years special classes should be provided. Harvard has been the leader in the establishment of professional schools, among...
