...This fund was started about a year and a half ago, which was about a year before the celebration of Professor G. L. Kittredge's twenty fifth anniversary as a teacher here. The purpose of this fund, which has been contributed by the friends of Professor Kittredge, is to establish a permanent principal, the income of which is to be expended in purchasing such books for the College Library as Professor Kittredge may suggest. If he is at any time unable to direct the expenditure, such books as he would approve are to be purchased. A special book-plate...
...cannot hold the attention of the hurrying multitudes of the city for a great length of time, seldom for as long as they deserve. But a solution lies in translating them into concrete--or brick--realities. This is the means which the Harvard Club of Boston has taken to establish the idea that Boston and Cambridge are united by the strong, though invisible, ties of Harvard.

In short, Harvard, or Wisconsin, or Yale,--or any University of like size, -- can not be called a "rich man's college," or a poor man's college or even a middle class college without violating the full character of the community. All classes-financially, morally, intellectually...
...Thus the teacher and the practicer of law, and the layman and scholar have united in an appeal to broadly trained men to save us from the ravages of mediocrity. With the great jurists of the country's early days as examples, college men are called upon to re-establish principles which have vanished in the cloud of mediocrity that has followed popular interference with weakened legal administration and to prepare themselves to lead the public to renewed confidence in the courts...
