...published in our last issue a notice of the '87 class dinner. The classes at Harvard are now divided into so many groups, each little group thinking its own thoughts, having its own assemblings, and giving its own dinners, that we would fain forget that larger bond, the class, that binds them all together. In just such manner does the bond of our alma mater become indistinct in our eyes. But when college days are past, the difference is at once felt! How valuable all reunions, of college or class, then become to us; they speak to us like voices...

Therefore, however much we may be engrossed with our own particular set, let us not forget that we of a class are together filled with like hopes and aspirations.

Mr. Herkomer enjoys a high reputation as a scholarly critic, and is a man of refined tastes. Anything that he will...
...that Harvard cannot keep as good a corps of instructors as they have at Rochester. Such statements are always very interesting, and often amusing. Rochester proudly says, "We have no tutors; all are professors." The inference is that the Rochester men get better instruction than we do. But they forget that a man is no better simply because you chose to call him "professor." If the Rochester "professors" are not above the ordinary Harvard tutor in education and ability, what is the advantage in having him for a teacher...
