...glad to hear that the demand for increased accommodations for the classes in Chemistry A, will be temporarily met by the removal of the mineralogical cabinet to the new section of the Agassiz Museum. The change has been long needed, and the new arrangement will no doubt for a time satisfy the urgency. Ultimately, however, even the present accommodations will grow too small, and then a new building will be in order. Boylston Hall is certainly fast becoming out of date and inadequate. Already some inconvenience is felt in the laboratory accommodations and this is bound to increase with every...
Probably few students appreciate the true value of the collection of books in Gore Hall. It is without doubt the first college library in the country, and is better than many of the public libraries. It does not contain a great many duplicate copies of the commoner books, but it makes up for this in the rarity of others.

...main feature of the evening was of course the speaking, and this, though mainly laudatory, will no doubt have a salutary effect upon our athletics.

In the past there has been too little unity of action in athletics, between faculty, graduates, and students. It is this unity which we most need and which we must cultivate. Harvard athletics will need every honest effort which can be put forth in their behalf. It is our sincere hope that...
...schools in Germany, where supervision is perfect, that the early use of tobacco is altogether bad, though it has far less influence in some than in others. In regard to alcohol, German testimony is more conflicting; and beer is still given in the military schools, but there is little doubt that its effect is injurious rather than other wise. Before middle life, at any rate, it should be merely medicine and taken in extreme moderation. In regard to ventilation it may be said that certain recitation rooms in Harvard are very poorly ventilated, worse than the worst in Tewksbury...
