HUA Election Will Feature No Referenda or Survey Questions
Henceforth honor candidates in law, history, and science at Oxford, will be excused from the classical examinations, which are called the "moderations," at the end of the first or the beginning of the second year. The classics can now all be got rid of before entering the university, leaving the student free, as at Harvard now, to specialize as much as he pleases. The great public schools are altering their curricula so as not only to finish the classical part of the education, but supply elementary instruction in the principal sciences.
