...understand that Mr. F. L. Dunne, the prominent Boston tailor, who has for years past catered so successfully to the wants of Harvard men, is to send an agent West in the spring for the purpose of advancing his trade interests in that section of the country. Mr. Dunne has always had uniform success with his patrons and has established a reputation among college men which places his firm in the front rank of the merchant tailors who supply the demand made by students of the country for exclusive and novel goods...
...candidates for the freshman nine have been very negligent in their work in the gymnasium. We understand that the number which makes daily appearance is less than that requisite for a full base-ball team. Harvard College does not keep freshmen at their work because they obtain liberty for the first time in their lives during their first winter here, and fail to understand the right use of it. But now it is about time that the follies of the first term should be cast aside and some work accomplished. The class of '90 made an unenviable reputation in base...
...narrow-minded; efficient, perhaps, and useful, but not liberally educated, and probably less useful and efficient than if he were so.

No education which is simply intellectual can give all these...
...prospect is bright for a very large increase of our educational facilities, and that, too, in behalf of a sex which has not always been favored with its full share. The city, as such, can do little legally, to aid any enterprise of this kind, however meritorious, but I understand the park's commission to be of the opinion that, if there is a likelihood of the establishment of a richly endowed college for women in close proximity to Clark University, Worcester should at least manifest its appreciative sense of such munificence by the ample provision of open grounds...
...from the entire plan of study is noticeable, and is explained by the fact that students were required to speak Latin in the class-rooms and in the college yard. Latin was the main requirement for admission to Harvard College. The rule was: "When a scholar is able to understand Tully (Cicero) or such like classical Latin author extempore, and make and speak true Latin in verse and prose suo ut aunt Marte, and decline perfectly the paradigm's of nouns and verbs in the Greek tongue; let him then and not before be capable of admission into the college...
