ADDRESSED TO THE PRESIDENT AND FACULTY OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY, GREETING: Gentlemen - There has been great changes in the Hebrew and Greek writers of Antiquity, by the Hebrew and Greek writers of this Modern Age of literature and science. My great experience in the classic Shades of Learning, forces me to challenge the educated world to prove any Heaven without life, reason, logic, order, harmony, genuine faith, belief in harmony with the organic and natural laws which govern, regulate and harmonize mankind in the present tense, heaven possessed in the human mind. The value of all objects and subjects depend...
...charge for rent, however exorbitant, is sufficient evidence of that. The demand is growing more pressing every year, and would seem to be one that could be justly satisfied by the corporation to their own advantage. It is hard to see why a dormitory built with modern improvements and reasonable accommodations could not be made to yield a sufficient return on the investment to supply in some measure the present deficit in the annual income of the university.

Indeed, one may find in this early Harvard literature evidence that that revival in letters which was progressing so actively in England at that time - in the younger days of Byron...
...Alcestis of Euripides has recently been presented at the Bradfield Academy, England. The School Chronicle says of it : "Well may Bradfield be proud to rank with Oxford and Harvard University as one of the only three places which have reproduced a Greek play on our modern stage, and to have done so with such undoubted success...
