...recent Literary World contains an article on the manuscripts of Longfellow's "Excelsior," the first draft of which is preserved in the Harvard Library...
...plentiful supply of water is in case of fire. During some of our severe winter snow-storms it would be almost impossible for a fire-engine to traverse the yard in time to save a burning building. Our buildings are so constructed that there is always a powerful up-draft in each entry. Let a fire get under a good headway on the bottom floor and the entry will become a death-trap to those above. There is no escape except by jumping from the windows. Matthews has a fire ladder, but Thayer, the largest and highest building...

...greater number of them are mere fire-traps, where any sudden violent conflagration late at night would be attended by a lamentable loss of life. The different entries are shut off from each other, and the stairways are mostly built in a spiral style that would furnish a tremendous draft for the flames and cut off escape. The danger is immediate and continual, and the action of the authorities at Princeton in providing fire-escapes is an example we could well wish to see imitated here. At Princeton there was once an outbreak of malarial fever among the students that...
