The main headline on the right-hand page is “THE ADVANCEMENT OF LEARNING.” The article below this headline critically examines the state of teaching and student engagement at Harvard.

The article also mentions specific professors—Professor Lake, Professor Kittridge, Professor Lowes, and Professor Rollins—and contrasts the effectiveness of different teaching styles, particularly in the context of English courses and the “romantic Fancy.”
