Note and Comment.

The following extract from a report published by the Board of Overseers of Harvard College attracts attention:

"In the opinion of the Board of Overseers it is advisable to permit a scientific substitute, in accordance with the terms of this report, to be offered by applicants for admission to the college for either Greek of Latin, one of these two languages always being required, and provision being made for elementary instruction in Greek and Latin, as elective in the college course."

Such action by an American college is, at least, phenominal! How interesting it would be to go into a recitation room in that far-famed institution and find college students competing with ten year-old boys in our Latin School on mensa, amo, or the like. - Beacon.
