...communication which appears in another column requesting a descriptive pamphlet of the History Department deserves attention. All members of the University who are familiar with the descriptive pamphlets of other courses find them of great service in choosing a year's work. They are, in fact, almost a necessity to an intelligent selection. Besides this, few subjects, if any, are studied so widely at Harvard as History: and thus a descriptive pamphlet of this department would benefit an exceptionally large number of men. We therefore second the request made in the communication, certain that the usefulness of the pamphlet would...
...steer them safely through the mazes of the law. The constantly increasing number of patents, and the questions raised by the development of electric heating and lighting, have opened new fields for the lawyer. In order to succeed in these branches of the law, a lawyer must be familiar with science.

Everyone who was familiar with the work done in the gymnasium this winter expected that the events of the last meeting of the Athletic Association would be more poorly contested this year than formerly. Nevertheless no one was quite prepared to see such a poor exhibition as was given last Saturday, particularly in the events that are to be contested in New York in May, The one redeeming feature of the meeting was the shot putting by Pennypacker, whose efforts showed the hard and careful work he has done. In the high jumping and pole-vaulting not only were...
...want to make another appeal to the students on behalf of the University Crew. Every one is familiar with the facts. Every one knows that the Crew wants money and that it must have money in order to carry on the preparations for the race at New London next June. If every man would save a certain sum-more or less, according to his means-which he would otherwise spend uselessly, and devote that sum to the University Crew, we are sure he would never regret it. Now is the time to show what stuff Harvard men are made...
