Note and Comment.

Professor Sumner of Yale, says as follows of the change for admission to Harvard:- "I have examined it with great care and I think it an admirable scheme. It is judicious, and marks an important step in the improvement of university education. Every man can suit himself as to his course of studies. The greatest change is in the possibility of avoiding Latin and Greek through the combinations which have been provided for. I see Mr. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., is pressing a movement to substitute English for Latin as the official language of the college. This fact is worthy of note, as it indicates a preference for practical rather than ornamental learning."- Ex.
