...building is applicable to the Veterinary department; but not one is being applied. He spoke of the necessity of gathering funds to pursue the work. With regard to this veterinary school, the matter has never been written up in the papers, as it should have been done; no public interest has ever been awakened. Had the question been taken up as it should have been done, we know of what we speak in saying that a permanent fund of at least $100,000 could have been raised, and not with any great amount of labor...
...uniform success which has greeted the production of all the Greek plays brought out in England leads us to ask whether it would not be possible to give another play here at Harvard. The "OEdipus" was eminently successful in every way, and certainly from the great and general interest which it aroused all through the country, would encourage an attempt to produce another. At any rate a discussion of the question will do no harm, while it may show the project to be practicable...
...thought very doubtful if the old comedy was equally suitable for revival.

It is easy to see what caused our discomfiture in the former sport the structures of the faculty-but we can only attribute our want of success in foot-ball to "general adverse circumstances." We believe that our system...
...more exposed form these visits. Such vanity of course could not be an individual but a collective vanity, and from the nature of things that is not likely to arise. Besides it cannot but be felt, not oppressively, but modestly, that the students themselves are by far the least interesting of the features of this university. Buildings and apparatus on the one hand and the distinguished men who belong to the teaching body on the other must draw the interest of most observers far more than anything else. Besides, do we not feel that every year as students...
