His practice of giving illustrated talks two or three times a month makes the course extremely delightful and a fair target for Vagabonders. The slide-lectures cover a multitude of topics, such as the Wessex of Hardy. The other novelty he offers is the presentation of leading actors and actresses, such as Walter Hampden or Vivian Tobin, to his class. The guests usually talk on some phase of contemporary drama...

Provision was then made for three groups of students: (1) undergraduates entering the University as Freshmen or by transfer from other colleges or engineering schools: (2) graduates of arts colleges and (3) graduates of engineering colleges...
...sound, broad, scientific training that recognizes the main fields of engineering, but without specialization. The Freshman year is practically common to all. Some of the programs begin to be differentiated in the second year, and others in the third; but in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering the first three years are practically identical. The schedule of studies is simple and progressive, but rigorous. Not more than five subjects may be taken simultaneously. Routine so-called practical work and ephemeral descriptive instruction are minimized. And students who enter upon one program may readily change to another, as their plans...

Such men are usually fitted to enter with third-year standing: and we wish to offer them a clear-cut schedule of engineering studies, by which they can complete the requirements for an engineering degree in two years of study here, or in three years if they wish to take a year of business studies. There is also an effective, workable plan by which a degree in Harvard College, as well as our engineering degree, may be won in five years. And we now offer college graduates a master's degree for the postgraduate...
