I wonder if I have ever given my testimony in this column to the courtesy of Harvard students in that most trying of all places for one's manners-a Cambridge street car. My wanderings for the past two or three years have given me a good deal of experience in these vehicles, and I want to say that in scarcely more than half a dozen instances, all told, have I seen Harvard men fail of courtesy to other passengers. Many men are coming to be indifferent to the claims of women to any other treatment than they themselves receive in the cars, but it is a very rare experience for me to see a lady, whether young or old, plain or pretty, enter a car when students are passengers, and be compelled to stand.- Cambridge Tribune.

It is amusing to notice how small institutions of learning put on airs. A minor university is worse than a minor poet. I happened lately to glance over the catalogue of a "university" of about 400 students, which "university" consists simply of a school of general literature and a school of technology. Yet this institution grants eight kinds of degrees at graduation: Bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, civil engineer, mechanical engineer, bachelor of science in mining and metallurgy, engineer of mines and metallurgist, electrical engineer and analytical chemist, besides higher degrees of M. A., M. S. and Ph. D. In presence of such a collection of high-sounding names, a modest Harvard man stands aghast until he remembers that their value must be taken with a grain of salt.- Cambridge Tribune.
