...society as well as to make the most of himself. Such an education must be to a degree a suggestive one; it must teach a man how to think even more than what to think, and must from its very nature abandon the old rut of thought. The favor with which the "new subjects" are received shows plainly how undergraduate feeling is disposed toward them. Men at college fully realize the nature of the times into which they have been thrown and when allowed to shape their own courses, naturally follow out this new line of education. Cast-iron rules...
...laboratory courses, the expenses for running the laboratory, such as gas, water, salaries of janitors, etc., are much larger than the expense incurred in carrying on a course in any other part of the college. The corporation, therefore, thought it necessary to charge the student who elects a laboratory course more than one who takes any other course. Just so much money is allowed the laboratory for running expenses as is deemed sufficient, according to the cost of running other buildings in the university. The fee of $15 which is charged each year is to cover the cost of reagents...

...college heard that their freshmen had been defeated by Williston Academy for the first time in ten years. But this only served to wake up the Yale freshmen. They saw that, unless they worked hard, there would be no chance for them to beat our '87 nine. The thought of losing the coveted seats on the "fence" spurred them on to greater efforts. When they learned of the defeat which Andove administered to our freshmen, all Yale once more became condfident of success, and the nine is receiving much encouragement on all hands...
...last Courant furnishes us much food for reflection. That our poor sheet should take up so much space in a Yale periodical is, of course, complimentary to us, but at the risk of being thought ungrateful, we timidly offer a few comments. The editorial on the freshman game redeems Yale from the charge that that college cannot produce anything humorous. We feel pained to learn that the "annual and alwaysto-be-expected streak of Harvard meanness" has again cropped out, especially as the News disapproves, and are really glad to hear that the Courant decides that Yale's claim...
