...have) every member write his "life" on sheets of abnormally large paper, which are intended to be bound with a manuscript copy of Oration, Poem, etc. in a "Class-Book"; records of all Class-Meetings are to be made in this volume; the unfortunate Class Secretary is expected to know the whereabouts of Tom, Dick, and Harry, their occupation and most private concerns, which are to be entered from time to time on the spaces left after the "Lives"; and thus the future Historian of the College, writing a continuation of Mr. Sibley's interesting book on Harvard graduates, will...

The captain of the crew does not, we believe, agree with the views expressed by our two correspondents.
