...president's report will be read with interest by all persons connected with Harvard University. This document is to the Harvard community what President Arthur's annual message to Congress is to the country at large. Every year it is looked forward to as the official presentation of facts and solution of difficulties that have puzzled us. Here we expect to find explanations for actions that have been incomprehensible and therefore to some extent have seemed unnecessary. The document before us gives us the explanations and presents a great deal of matter of interest...

...salaries, retiring allowances, scholarships for undergraduates, special students, graduates, or professional students, administration and service in the gymnasium, chapel, library, or dining hall, and the maintenance of the several scientific laboratories. There is a variety of objects, both large and small, as great as the diversity of intellectual interests which the university represents. Among large objects may be mentioned twenty-eight unnamed professorships of as many different subjects which await endowment; among small, the numerous scholarships needed for the promotion of post-graduate and professional study. It may be doubted whether a building is, after all, so durable and desirable...
