OLD AND NEW HARVARD.
The Line of Separation Commenced With
the Elective System.


There was an old Harvard and there Is a
new, and the line of separation is SO recent
that graduate of less than 20 years stand
ing can remember when it began to appear.
1t came with the elective system and has
developed year by year rs that system has
developed, and as students names have
multiplied in the Harvard catalogue.
Twenty years ago there were still classes
and class feeling ut Harvard. Most of the
studies of freshman year and nearly half of
the sophomore studies were prescribed.
There were then about 200 students in a
class
Nowadays Harvard class has come to
be much larger and looser aggregation Of
individuals, and the facilities for knitting
it together have almost disappeared. Be
tween 400 and 500 men now enter college
together. Only single study, English, is
prescribed to all of them. All the rest they
select, each man choosing what best suits
his taste, inclinations and purposes Most
of the elective courses are open to students
of several classes and TO graduate students,
and when freshman has sorted out the
studies he purposes to pursue, he finds
himself in the lecture or recitation room
with an unclassifled body of learners,
most of them no doubt freshmen like him
self, but very likely with plenty of sopho-
mores, too and possibly with other upper
class men and graduate students. Com
pulsory prayers have passed out of exist
ence, and he rarely or never sees his own
class all together at one time. Indeed,
there is not "a lecture room in Harvard col
lege that will seat all the members of the
present freshman class ut once He rarely
ever sees group of men together in any
classroom of whom he can be sure that all
Of them are his classmates. Edward >.

They Reappesr In hawaiian Waters After
an Absence of Many Years.

PM. ukuFo and makamoi have not been
seen IA Hawaiian waters In 20 years until
recently. Their home when last seon was
at Ewa and To that home they have re-
turned, after probably getting tired of
wherever else they may have gone. To
look at them casually one would not at
tach much Importance TO them, but To
study their history and TO hear the
tales the old gray haired natives relate
about them is ut once TO become enthused
with an interest that Is only satisfied when
all that can be is learned. To the majority
of people seeing the pipi shells for the first
time nine out of ten would call them the
living place of the oyster, and rs To the
okupe and makamoi these same nine
would simply say, "Shells."
Several natives arrived at the fish mar
ket from Eva recently, bringing with them
IA small quantity of pipi and okupe. These
they gave To Fish Inspector Keliipio, tell
ing him of their sudden appearance at Eva
after very long absence A young man
i'm the party who has lived in Eva all his
life told of how he had been astonished at
seeing new kind of shellfsh appear there
Evidently they disappeared before he was
born.
Mr.. Keliipio learned that not more than
20 or 30 of each kind had been gathered,
as these were all that could be found
With this, one of the party exhibited "a
beautiful pearl which he found at Eva.
He was rather loath to part from the others
of its kind, thinking it just possible that
there might he more pearls.
Then came the stories of how kameha-
meha V and chiefs before him had been in
a. - %
after the okupe, and the pipi, too, for that
tanned i'm some of them. Then an old ma
tive, lifting one of the pipi gently in his
hand, broke forth with,
"Mai noho walaau
o makani auanei, Fl"
which means you must not make noise
or the wind will blow.
To explain: When the natives went fish
ing for the pipi in the olden times, they
always kept very quiet, for IL was, and is
yet to some extent, their belief that 10y
making II noise the air Is disturbed in some
strange way and the wind blows. The
water becomes rufled, and the pipi, accus
toned to open wide their shells when ev-
erything is calm and peaceful, shut mp
like clam, and then it is the hardest
thing in the world to find them, for the
outside of their shells is so much like the
rocks to which they cling, and the moss
that grows about them makes concealment
almost complete.
The pipi are known as "Ka la hamauleo
EVA" which conveys about the same
impression as the little piece of native po-
etry just explained.
Ka ia hamauleo makani,
pane,
hoba ka lai.
