Who has not heard of the Quartier Latin? That is the ancient populous section on the left bank of the Seine, where the faculties are close huddled- though not contiguously so as to forin as with us a campus- over a tremendous área.

That may seem like a comparison by guidebook standards. Not at all. Happily in universities, at least, numbers may be taken as a sufficiently sure symptom of efficiency.- Chicago Times. Mrs. Chas.
