Harvard University School of Veterinary Medicine, Session 1886-87. This time honored institution of learning, whose fame is world-wide in all that relates to science and art, has, in connection with its Medical department, established a Veterinary School, presided over by a veterinarian of rare accomplishment, ripe judgment, and unlimited practical experience - qualifications that are exceptionally beneficial in directing the course of studies to be adopted by students. This, coupled with the facilities afforded for original research in experimental medicine which Harvard alone affords, and its reputation as an educational centre, both in the past, present, and future...
...morning prayers are a survival. There was a time when there was nothing arbitrary in compulsory chapel, for the man who thought at all was sure to think that it was a good and useful institution.

If, again, a college be in part general, in part special, in part college, and in part university, it may not be clear whether such services should be required or not. The question can only be determined...
...fact that college graduates are famed for their free trade opinions, and that almost no opportunity is given for a forcible representation of the protectionist view of the tariff, it seems no more than fair than an opportunity should be given to the students to form an impartial judgment on a question of such vast importance to American citizens. It seems to us that other colleges would do well to follow the example set by Yale in this respect...
