...College Library has just received an interesting and valuable memorial of the first school teacher in Cambridge, Elijah Corlet. This is a broadside sheet on which is printed "An Elegiack Verse on the Death of the Pious and Profound Rhetorician and Grammarian, Mr. Elijah Corlet, School Master in Cambridge, who deceased anno aetatis 77.

...Eastern Massachusetts." Within the last decade great advances have been made in the exploration and understanding of the deposits of ancient glaciers which covered New England. Professor Woodworth will show by means of stereopticon views how geologists have been able to determine the position of the vanished ice-sheet at various stages of its retreat across Eastern Massachusetts. The various topographical features of glacial origin will be pointed out, and the relations of inland towns and harbors to the control exerted by local glacial deposits will be indicated. The lecture will be open to the public...
