...President Lowell:--The sense of academic solidarity is appropriate not only to the members of a single college or a single university, but to the common brotherhood of universities and colleges. I am on that account bold enough to speak in behalf of delegates from universities and colleges in Great Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Bohemia, Switzerland, Holland, Norway, Cuba, Cape of Good Hope, and New Zealand. Sir, I convey to you on behalf of all these a message of heart-felt congratulation and good wishes on the occasion of your inauguration in the words of the cable message which...
Very ancient, indeed, and sometimes very flat, is the wit (N.B. "The Evolution of the Freshman's Letter Home"), yet the number is entertaining, nevertheless. "Mediaeval Gastronomy" is cleverly versified, and illustrated con amore. Even the account of the bold dash of Dr. Crook to the North Pole (now at last definitely located at Perkins Hall) though based on a joke never very funny and surely as old as the hall in question is undeniably amusing.

"The Scarecrow" is a prose "tragedy of the indicrous," based upon a suggestion derived from Hawthorne's "Feathertop"; but the purely satirical purpose of the original story is replaced by an ethical...
...will be so bold as to criticize the lack of interest in studies at Harvard after reading the communication from Mr. Lane which we print in another column? Many earnest individuals not content with monopolizing the air and books of Gore Hall for hours at a time must needs appropriate for their exclusive use the volumes most in demand. As long as they are actually using the books no one can severely censure them except for dullness; but when they attempt to found a private library by stealthy and underhand methods, it is time for all fairminded frequenters...
