Once started the athletic club will undoubtedly be of the greatest benefit to athletics and will, it is hoped, put an end to anything but the best and most generous feelings between itself and all other colleges. At its rooms all the principals in the athletic circle can collect and discuss any disputed point by themselves, and can come to a decision before any feelings of doubt or misgiving get abroad to widen the little breach which rivalry always makes between colleges. At the same time it is hoped that the club will have its effects at home in improving...

...publish to-day, deserves a careful reading. No better work is being done in behalf of classical study than that which is accomplished every year by this school. It has been supported in an insufficient and perfunctory manner by the American colleges and by a few subscriptions from generous individuals. It is now desired to put the school on a permanent footing. The concert which is soon to be given by our musical societies will help in raising the necessary funds; therefore a liberal hand should be extended by all friends of Harvard to aid in helping this protege...

...founded, stand two of the oldest and largest universities in the country; and within a surrounding territory not larger than some single western states which has no good university, are found Harvard, Yale, Williams Dartmouth, Brown, Bowdoin and Colby. We cannot have too many endowments of this generous kind for educational purposes in our young country; but with all respect to the good intentions of the donor, we cannot help feeling that in view of the great wants elsewhere and the superabundance in this locality, the gift is rendered comparatively useless by the conditions which bind...

...that the hand of Providence has taken from our number one whose earnest life, high endeavor, and steadfast character has gained our sincere respect and esteem. As his classmates, we have recognized his success as a student; as his friends, we have seen those genial qualities which spring from generous impulse and which cement true friendship. We remember, too, at the time, with satisfaction his deep and constant Christian faith and his active Christian influence. At the same time we feel, and desire to express a heartfelt serrow at the loss we have sustained in the early death...
