...descriptions heretofore given of the plan which the President and Fellows have suggested for establishing a savings-fund are partially incorrect. In the first place, it is not an "Annuity" system. Nor does the proposed plan contemplate a reduction in the salaries of those who adopt it. So far as can be ascertained, the substance of what the Corporation wish to do is this: if each officer or instructor in the University will set aside five per cent of his salary for investment, the Corporation will add five per cent and put this sum out at compound interest, thus forming...

We wish that there were any other reasonable supposition to adopt besides the one that these articles are stolen by students, but we cannot see that there is any escape from this conclusion. That students in Harvard College should steal the property of fellow-students - overcoats, hats, or umbrellas - is something to be deeply regretted. The recent discovery of a student...
