...find something to take their place, which the Faculty will not be apt to object to. Why can we not have such a subscription ball as Columbia is to have to aid her crew? There are men among the undergraduates who, assisted by graduates in Boston, could certainly make such a ball a grand success, financially and socially. We commend this idea to their attention. Furthermore, we are by no means sure that the proposed concert in Sanders Theatre, by the Glee Club and Pierian, could not be carried out. In some way or other more money must be raised...
...kindness of the President we have received the Annual Report for 1876 - 77. The Report calls attention to the fact that this year, for the first time in the history of the University, all departments have the same term, vacation, recesses, and holidays, - a fact which tends to make the various departments "feel themselves to be co-ordinate members of one body, - the University." The Report also discusses the cost of education at Harvard, the change of stewards at Memorial Hall, post-graduate instruction, voluntary recitations, the new requirements for admission, and other matters of importance. An extended notice...
...call the attention of all students in the University to the catalogue of the North American Review, prepared by Mr. William Cushing of the Harvard Library.

This index will be of especial interest to all Harvard students and graduates, since during its whole life the Review has been essentially a Harvard publication...
...been to some trouble to get at an accurate statement of college expenses. As the result of a large number of inquiries, he found that the smallest annual expenditure was $471, and the largest $2,500. Since this wide range of expenditure gave insufficient data from which to make fair estimates, the President has prepared a table to exhibit four scales of annual expenditure. This table is restricted to the nine months of college life, and is, we think, a very fair estimate of college expenses...
...philosophy, history, or science; whether the choice of the individual student be oftenest determined by sound or trivial consideration; and whether any general advice as to choice of studies could be profitably given by the Faculty. . . . . The average student, with the help of his instructors, friends, and natural advisers, makes a more judicious selection of studies for himself than the Faculty could make for him, with any knowledge which they are likely to have of his tastes, capacities, and purposes, - a much better selection, moreover, than the old prescribed curriculum of this College, or the present prescribed curriculum...
