Nearly three centuries have passed since the first festival of Thanksgiving was celebrated in early New England days. Since that time the custom of setting apart a day of general thanksgiving in the harvest season has spread from the shores of New England throughout the land until today it has become a thoroughly established national festival. Harvard College, more perhaps than any other similar institution, is distinctly associated with Thanksgiving Day, first because the earliest observances are to be found in and about Boston, and secondly because the first proclamation making a day of thanksgiving a national concern was drawn...
...cover is flamboyant with breezy confidence; scripture unschooled by higher criticism is called to witness in our behalf at the outset, and the tail-piece is a convincing vision of prophecy fulfilled,--a fulfillment heralded by many a timely dig in the intervening pages at our "dearest foe." Apart from the local color cast upon it by the shadow of coming events, the number strikes us as no more or less than most Lampoons. Some of the jokes and poems are funny and cleverly done, but they seem no more appropriate to the Lampoon than they would...

...crews will line up for the start 90 feet apart from bow to stern, and the starting positions will be indicated by buoys, placed in the river at the proper intervals.

Between the first and second shots there will be two minutes, and between the second and third one minute. The third shot will be the signal for the start. Referees will be stationed along the shore, and bumps will be signalled either through a megaphone...
Dean Sabine next introduced Dean Gay of the new Graduate School of Business Administration, who spoke briefly on the new school. He gave three reasons for its being made a graduate rather than an undergraduate department: foremost, because we set the Graduate School apart, as the policy of the University; secondly, Harvard recognizes that business has a right to graduates of professional schools; and thirdly, in aim and tendency and purpose we mean to ally ourselves with research, and to search for a wider truth. We feel that in the Graduate School of Applied Science we are not giving...
