Those who travel widely seldom remain any length of time in a large city without visiting its principal monuments and collections. But men who live for four years in Cambridge often are much less familiar with the valuable accumulations of our museums than the stranger who spends a day in "seeing" Harvard. We do not advise devoting an entire day to a cursory glance over everything. Undergraduates are fortunate in having more time for the purpose than strangers, and it is for that very reason that the opportunity is almost entirely neglected. In order to gain the most from...

This has been attained by many writers...
...other buildings, but also an innovation which the Regent and other College officers have sought to encourage. We have spoken of the undeniable failure of the common-room in one building, and a partial explanation at least is easily made. Instead of throwing its door open to all who live in the building and depending upon voluntary subscriptions for support, it has been made a club to be entered only after the initiation fee has been paid...
