It is a document that ought to be read by every graduate as well as every undergraduate, and it is safe to predict that, were it more generally read, the Class Subscription Fund would be greatly increased by the voluntary subscriptions of our alumni. There is an earnest, manly ring in the reports that shows how faithfully every one of Harvard's servants is devoted to her interests...
