...hour examination is meant to stir the lazy, it falls short of its mark. Its occurrence may produce a temporary effect toward industry, but the lasting good that accrues is hard to see. Is it just that the difficult and vexatious work necessary to prepare for an hour examination should be inflicted upon the great number of conscientious students, simply for the good of a few who are either lazy or reckless? It seems that nearly all the instructors are coming to this opinion. Such a system seems to accord ill with the liberal spirit that generally pervades Harvard...

Near Memorial Hall was recently set a charming statue of John Harvard. The young clergyman sits in his chair, his pulpit robe thrown around hime, his book open on his knee, his thin face and tranquil, hopeful eyes turned toward the western sky. He is thinking of the days that are to be. He hears nothing of the vigorous tide of life now flowing round his chair. He knows nothing of past success or present attainment. His face shows no trace either of self-distrust or of self-satisfaction. But the quiet unconsciousness with which his trustful hope looks toward...
