This pleasing and laughter-provoking sketch book of Harvard doings has, for more than a year, been out of print. During this time the demand for it has increased, and, to meet this demand, a new edition is now proposed, provided a sufficient number of copies is guaranteed. This book is a series of pictures of college life, and one, too, that is ever interesting to look over. The edition will be limited, and, in order to secure a copy of the work, it will be necessary to place your name upon the subscription list, which can be found...
