...late Edward Price Greenleaf, of Boston, calls forth the deepest gratitude from every friend of Harvard. It is too early to make any comment until definite information with regard to the bequest can be obtained. But, we may all hope that the report is not exaggerated, especially when we think what unestimable benefits can be procured by such a bequest. The erection of a new dormitory alone ought to immortalize the generous donor. However, it will be well to delay further comment until we can speak with more certainty of the bequest...
...were served, two in every three were bad, absolutely bad. Is it not absurd that the famous dining hall of the largest and most respected university in America should offer to its seven hundred boarders potatoes, of which two out of every three are bad? In sober earnest, we think the proper authorities should look into the matter at once, if for no other reason than personal pride, and endeavor to furnish reasonably edible potatoes.

A large number of men attend them when given in Cambridge, who would never think of going into Boston, although they really enjoy the music when they are once in the hall. But, as we all know, many will give up some benefits and enjoyments simply because they do not wish to take the trouble of the going and coming. A large part...
