...reported that the first edition of the Harvard Register will be 4,000 copies, and that one will be sent to every alumnus...
...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.
