...seen the Monthly during two years only sporadically and then with disappointment, the present number is more satisfying. At the end of its hard year of rehabilitation the magazine shows itself worthy of the ideals of the past. We no longer yearn to bear a mantle on our shoulders backward and cover...
Probably no college has been so backward as Harvard in thus making known the advantages that it offers young men. Partly through carelessness, partly through preoccupation with the rush of new developments at the University we have lost out hold on New England, and get far too small a number of the strong and able boys who still pour out of the ancient fountain of manhood.

The present policy of the Library means practically a return to this inferior method. For this reason, it is a backward step and likely in the end to prove far more costly than its monetary saving can justify...
