...weeks ago the Boston Sunday Herald had a long article on the facilities for escaping from fire in the College buildings. To the surprise of those who have read previous articles of the Herald on Harvard matters, the facts that were stated were correct and the deductions just.

To find fault with men to whom we were under so many obligations would have been worse than ingratitude. We could only hope that some new and unexpected material would show itself, or still better, that the old crew might relent. New material...
