...years in the Law School are obliged to work an extra year before they can obtain their A. M.-if they desire it. The writer further contends "that the courses of any one year at the Law School are fully equal in the amount of work required to the total amount demanded of the postgraduate." This may be all very true, but our correspondent evidently is oblivious of the fact that a great many men come to the Law School direct from preparatory schools. They come to prepare for the pursuit of a particular profession; and, although they may shine...
...courses pass his examination with high credit in order to obtain this same degree of A. M. It is safe to say that the courses of any one year at the Law School are fully equal in the amount of work required to the total amount demanded of the post-graduate. It may be said that the law student is rewarded with his degree of LL. B., but that may be obtained by any student whether he is a graduate of a college or not. It seems to me that there is a radical inconsistency which should be corrected...
...work done during the total eclipse of the moon on last Saturday evening at the astronomical observatory was in every way successful. The observations were carried on under the direct personal supervision of Professor Pickering who co-operated with the authorities at the Russian observatory of Pulkova in ascertaining the precise time when certain faint stars were occulted by the moon.

There will be a total eclipse of the moon on the 28th of this month, visible in this latitude and longitude, and unless cloudy weather shuts out the phenomenon, it will be an interesting and profoundly impressive sight.

The middle of the eclips is reached at 6.20, and the total phase ends at 7.09, but the earth's shadow does not entirely clear the lunar disc until...
...general exercises in the new gymnasium. The men who are training for the New England Intercollegiate meeting at Hartford are also working steadily, and are feeling pretty confident of bringing the championship to Amherst this year. Last year Amherst men took four first and ten second prizes, a larger total than was made by Dartmouth in getting the championship. Six first prizes made Dartmouth win. Only one of the men Amherst sent to Hartford last spring has left college, and to the number remaining several new and strong candidates have been added. Dr. Hitch-cock, the gymnasium instructor, has contributed...
