Book Description

Excerpt from Twenty-Sixth Annual Report of the President of Harvard College to the Overseers: Exhibiting the State of the Institution for the Academical Year 1850-51 The number Of Lectures during the year has been ten each week, accompanied with the usual examinations upon the mat ter of the text-books, and the presentation of cases connected therewith for Opinions by the students. The application of the subject-matter of the lecture in this mode is believed to be even more beneficial and satisfactory than direct examinations, which test the memory of the student, rather than aid him in applying what he has learned to actual practice.
