Some interesting facts as to the relative size of Harvard and Yale and their development during the past year are contained in the following table of sectional representation. The country is divided into four sections: northeastern, comprising New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; central, comprising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin; western, comprising all states west of the Mississippi; and southern, comprising all states south of Pennsylvania and east of the Mississippi. Foreign countries make up a fifth division. The table shows the number of graduates and undergraduates now at Harvard and Yale from each section, the increase...
...above table shows that 79 1-4 per cent. of Harvard students come from the northeastern section, 8 1-2 per cent. from the central section, 6 1-2 per cent. from the western, 3 3-4 per cent. from the southern and 2 per cent. from foreign countries. At Yale, 75 3-4 per cent. are from the northeastern section, 9 1-2 per cent. from the central section, 7 3-4 per cent. from the western, 5 per cent. from foreign countries. Of all the men attending the two universities, Harvard has 63 per cent. from the northeastern...

The men whose frequent presence in the Harvard Union is necessary to its greatest success are not men who can often afford an entire afternoon or evening...
...objections to a Quincy street location, then are real and potent, not fictitious. None of them is met in connection with College House site. It is central, convenient and physically suitable, situated on a broad avenue and facing, as it does, the main College gate. A. N. Rice. R. W. Bliss. W. Morrow. R. C. Bolling. F. L. Higginson, Jr. S.

...suggestions that have been made with regard to the location of the Harvard Union, none have pointed out sites at once central and commanding. If we were willing to part with Dane Hall or Wadsworth House, should we also be willing to put what is to become the centre of all College life in a position where it would be cramped for space and where even the handsomest building must appear at a decided disadvantage? A man who has the proper conception of what the Harvard Union should be, cannot, on reflection, wish to put it off in a small...
