...traditional "college" song no longer seems to thrive at Harvard. This appears particularly at class smokers and similar gatherings, where the repertoire is usually limited to a few football songs and a confused rendering of "General Grant" or perhaps the "Stein Song." Other than these there is a noticeable lack of the "good song ringing clear." Energy that might well be expended in becoming familiar with words and parts is squandered in a primitive attempt to drown out one discord with another...
...fund contributed mainly in small amounts from many sources as a memorial to Edwin Laurence Godkin, for a long time editor of the "Nation" and the "New York Post." Lectures on this foundation are to treat "The Essentials of Free Government and the Duties of the Citizen," or some similar subject. President Eliot is the second incumbent of the lectureship. The first was the Right Honorable James Bryce, British Ambassador to the United States, who, in the fall of 1904, delivered a series of five lectures on "The Study of Popular Government." The lectures this year will probably be given...

Such competitions could do no harm, and would certainly stimulate interest in Harvard among the preparatory schools of the West. M. B. WHITNEY...
...necessity be some variations in intrinsic value; but with one or two possible exceptions a high standard alike of matter and literary quality has been maintained throughout. The average of excellence is indeed quite on a parity with that afforded by recent German, French, and English enterprises of similar scope and method, while many of the volumes will no doubt take permanent place as notable contributions to the general equipment of the teacher of American history. To this outcome the judgment, enthusiasm, and persistent industry of the general editor have been not the least among the contributing factors...
