...source of satisfaction to some of us to understand clearly the matter of cuts in Chemistry 2. For the benefit of those interested it is as follows: Absence from 10-11 on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays, whether it be lecture or laboratory, counts as a full absence. Absence from Professor Cooke's lecture on Wednesday counts as a full absence. Absence from any three laboratory hours counts as a full absence. The weeks on which Professor Cooke lectures, one hour less laboratory work is required...
...laws. It certainly does not seem natural for Harvard to keep aloof from anything of this kind, and while we think our players are perfectly right in not being willing to alter their rules (which are undoubtedly far superior to those of the other colleges), still we ask whether it would not have been much better to have sent delegates able to explain our method of playing the game and to make a strong plea for it before the convention.

With this end in view they can not be too persistent or too thorough...
STUDENTS in economic science must have watched the Grange movement in the West this summer with much curiosity. Whether any valuable principle will be satisfactorily tested, or whether the farmers, blind from ignorance, will take the outstretched hand of politicians, and, after trying some unsound, plausible scheme, eventually sink back into their old state of comparative inferiority, are yet open questions. But it seems as if this country was about to learn by experience, what Scandinavia has long practised, that agriculturists can co-operate, as advantageously as other producers, both in selling their products and in buying implements and vital...
