WITH the commencement of the present college year, the privilege of voluntary recitations is extended to the Junior class, and upon '80 rests the responsibility of the success of this new step towards a university system. We trust that the confidence of the Faculty has not been misplaced, and that this immunity, now first granted to the Juniors, will not be abused, but treated with such prudence and discretion that the system may soon be still further extended, until Harvard shall become a real university, free from the restrictions which are requisite in high schools, but no longer necessary to a broader and manlier course towards maturer scholarship. We hope that every Junior will properly appreciate the privilege accorded by the Faculty, and duly estimate the responsibility thrown upon his class.
