The main difference in the systems of study in the Law Schools of Harvard, Yale and Columbia, it is asserted, is that at Columbia a class pursues but one subject at a time, having daily recitations thereon of one and an half or two hours each, while at Yale several subjects are simultaneously pursued with one or more exercises a week in each. The Harvard plan differs radically, each subject being studied by reported cases, and text books being little used.

A Yale criticism upon the recent Yale-Rutgers game, in which Yale made 97 points to 0, says: "The Yale men showed themselves strong in passing, the rushers held well and got through quickly, the kicking was in general very good, and some fine runs were made. But the rushers did not drop on the ball quickly, the tackling was too high, as was also the punting. There was an inexcusable amount of fumbling throughout the whole game, and it took the men entirely too long to get up to their work."
