...past, Harvard opposed a manful conservative front to the spirit of innovation. There are, however, indications at present that despite the free dispensation of a priori philosophy and the absolute exclusion of any teachings infected by the influence of Spenser and Mill, the subtle essence of Iconoclasm pervades her walls...
...seems appropriate to remind the present Seniors of their responsibility in the matter of voluntary recitations. Voluntary recitations must be regarded as still on trial, as they have not yet received the formal and permanent sanction of the authorities, and when it is remembered that this the second year of the trial will be held peculiarly decisive, it becomes the obvious duty of Seniors to avail themselves but sparingly of the privilege of cutting.

THERE are at present, in the various departments of Harvard University, including of course candidates for Masters' and Doctors' degrees and resident graduates not candidates for a degree, 105 representatives from 52 different universities, colleges, or scientific schools, from seven to nine students coming from each of these five colleges, - Amherst, Bowdoin, Brown, Dartmouth, and Yale.

The late dinners have proved very popular, and during October the fare was passable, but it is now so wretched that some change is needed, and the sooner it is made the better.
