Book Description

Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the President of Harvard University to the Overseers on the State of the Institution, for the Academical Year 1830-31 The general relations of the several departments of the University, during the last academic year, will appear by the specifications in the Appendix. By comparing these specifications with those of the last Annual Report, it will be seen that few alterations, and none very material, have been found necessary in the course of studies, or in the general arrangements of the University. The plan of studies adopted in January, 1830, has been successfully pursued and the advantages anticipated from the changes then introduced, have been attained. So far as depends upon general regulations, the best assurance for the continued and unremitted attention of students to their exercises, will be found in the certainty that at every recitation each individual will be examined; and that the estimate of scholastic rank must depend, not upon occasional brilliant success, but upon the steady, uniform, and satisfactory performance of each exercise.
