Again, strangers visiting Harvard naturally desire some souvenir of the place. To meet this long-felt want we suggest that lunch counters be set up in the transept and a free meal be given to every one who purchases a glass of milk and a bottle of Apollinaris water. The impression thus produced would be deep and lasting; one that would transcend all earthly considerations of space and time...
...Sargent, of the Harvard College gymnasium, is not in favor of training men for specialties. He says "I do not want to train up a small body of specialists, of gymnasts whose ability would equal that of professionals.

The lecturer referred to the present tariff regulations and asserted that he did not consider them necessary to the welfare of the woolen industry. He argued at some length against the protection tariff, and claimed that the general competition of the world will find where a staple can be manufactured cheapest before mere local competition and experience show that the tariff is prejudicial to the woolen industry. The speaker glanced at the labor...
