...state as to this that the preparation required to enter Harvard and the prescribed work of the freshman year amount probably to as thorough a grounding in the leading departments of human knowledge, as the entire course of most of our Western sisters (e. g. Oberlin) afford in their whole four years. This is not a matter of pride, but simply a matter of fact. This entire discussion in the Nation cannot but serve to clear the public mind on all these questions, and so is to be welcomed. We commend an examination of the Nation's articles on this...
...should not longer remain in need of some such a publication. Hardly any more useful application for a moderate endowment could be suggested than one towards defraying the expenses of such a publication. The Bulletin, at present, is only quarterly; its notes are meagre and unsatisfactory; and as a whole it is not a fair representative of Harvard.

The lecture on Papacy was equally good, and very fully attended. These long winter evenings' entertainments are doubly enjoyed...
