...Boston, October 3, 1635, and came to Newtowne (now Cambridge) October 5. A company of some sixty persons soon followed Shepard, and resolved to remain and organize themselves into a church. Suitable arrangements having been made, on the first day of February, 1636 (corresponding to February 11, new style,) a church, the first permanent one in Cambridge was duly organized...
...work at once powerful and poetical. There are a faint rythm and music which pervade the entire poem, rendering it harmonious even when the ideas fail to please us.

It may be a question as to whether a college publication should aim at being anything more than literary; but for ourselves we would gladly see in what is supposed to be the best work of Harvard undergraduates something besides what has merely "beauty of style and expression." We believe that the "Monthly" deserves a place in Harvard life, but we feel that it cannot be wholly successful until it is willing to be "serious" as well as literary...
