The Graduates' Magazine.

A reproduction of the monument to Col. Shaw is the frontispiece of the Harvard Graduates' Magazine for September. There appear also the address in commemoration of Col. Shaw which were delivered last May by Major Henry L. Higginson '55, W. P. Garrison '61, Wm. Professor James '69, and President Booker T. Washington.

In a paper entitled "Proposed Reduction of the College Course," Mr. John W. Brannan '74, recommends that the following announcement appear in the next issue of the University Catalogue: "The first-year courses in the Law School, the Medical School and the Graduate School are open as electives to Seniors in College. These courses will also be counted for the degree of Bachelor of Arts."

Col. T. W. Higginson '41, publishes a number of letters written by Joseph Green Coggswell '06, Edward Everett '11, and George Ticknor while they were studying at Gottingen to become teachers at Harvard. These youthful letters show how much Harvard College was influenced early in this century by German models.

A portrait of the late Professor George Martin Lane appears in this issue.

The rest of the number contains the usual account of Commencement; the items of news from the various classes and a resume of the recent affairs of the University.
