...other academy to compel students to fit for Harvard, if they prefer to cut short their preparatory course and enter some other college; and, recognizing this, she has always allowed those who intended to go elsewhere to deviate somewhat from the prescribed course for admission here. At the same time she has always shaped her course with special reference to the requirements of Harvard, and shows no intention of ceasing to do so. She was one of the first academies to change her method of instruction in Latin and Greek so as to fit students for the new method...
...certainly seems strange that the Freshmen, after challenging Cornell, show so little interest in rowing as to have only some eight men in regular training, while their opponents have eighteen. There is material for a good crew in the class, and it is time that it should be fully brought out.

This is especially the case in the Sophomore themes, where the writer has had but little previous practice, and has not learned to criticise...
...glad to see, by the President's Report, that an effort is being made to increase the advantages of a post-graduate course. Many students feel a desire to spend a year or two in study here after they have finished their college course, and to give their time either to studies they have been unable to pursue before, or to some subject which they make a specialty. To the former class the college electives offer a good field for work, and they can push their studies in whatever direction they choose; but to the latter there is presented...
