...will injure college men, that it is their duty to do so, and they follow the paths of their so-called duty with a ghoulish glee that is positively sickening. There are certain papers in Boston which seem to make a business of filling up their columns with false trash about Harvard whenever they are hard up for stuff. People easily believe sensational stories about the college. particularly when little occurrences are made to assume the proportions of hideous crimes. The thing has ceased to be a joke and is fast becoming a downright nuisance...

At present these articles are buried in the ponderous, rarely opened volumes in the basement of the library. By the plan under consideration, all that...
...address by Mr. Justin Winsor on bibliography in general and the part books play in the world's progress. The address although read, was delivered in an entertaining, conversational manner and was very heartily appreciated by the audience.

It was in every way an able and scholarly effort. Mr. Winsor closed with a glowing tribute to the labors of Antonio Panizzi...
