...DRENNAN.THE new term of Annex opens with an attendance of 42, nearly twice the number of last year. There will be about 30 classes, or about one maiden and a third for each class, on an average...

When a man has elaborate theses to write, as in Political Economy 3 and History 5, of a hundred pages or so in length, one of two things must happen: either he must neglect his regular work and write them during term time, or he must devote his Christmas recess to the task.

Because, as one of the salesmen explained to the writer, Mr. Sever came in before the term began and bought up all they had. Why do not Messrs. Lee & Shepard anticipate a demand for the book by students? Because Mr. Sever has the cooperation of the Harvard Faculty, and he alone knows what books and how many will be demanded...
