...paternalism never rears its ugly head, and where a premium is placed on individual responsibility, the system of hour examinations is a paradox; a conflict between fine theory and actual practice. Since they mean nothing, their abolition, except possibly for the first year, would remove from Harvard another petty trace of secondary school education...
...seven years ago by R. Harvey Sargent, for 21 years head of the U. S. Geological Survey. Mr. Sargent's party only had time to measure around the great crater holes, found the rim circumference of Aniakchak to be 21 mi., of Veniaminoff, 20 mi.* They found no trace of activity in their hasty circumspection, pronounced the craters big but dead...

Professor Ames next takes the chair to trace the botanical development of the earth's crust. This completes the first half year's work with smatterings of laboratory work on plants which despite its brief survey is still one of the best pleas for the course. Professors Woodcock and Wyman hold the rostrum for the second half year with their explanations of zoological transformations. The practical research accompanying these lectures...
