...year. The following is a brief outline of the most important ones: History is no longer required in the Sophomore year, nor Philosophy in the Junior year, but Sophomores will in future have to take twelve hours of electives, and Juniors fourteen. To supply the place of this required work three introductory courses in History are introduced, and three in Philosophy. The Philosophy courses will be conducted by Professors Bowen and Palmer, and by Dr. James, who will give a two-hour course on "The Doctrine of Evolution." These courses are offered in order that the student may be able...
...practice of reserving books at the Library is a good one, but it is carried to such an excess by some instructors that it is fast becoming a nuisance.

Now that the work is complete, it will not need renewing for a series of years, and we may also congratulate ourselves on having the only cinder path this side of Mott Haven, New York. The track has been carefully resurveyed, 18 inches removed from the inside all round...
...most careless reading of the article shows an inconsistency in the writer's position; for if, as he asserts, the new honors "will rouse as much excitement as the list of Bachelors of Arts," it is extremely unlikely that these worthless honors will be such unusually strong inducements to work as to "double the amount of studying for marks...
