...even yet more importance in our relations to the educated world and the institutions of learning about us, is the higher standard of attainment required not only of those who enter here, but of those who shall hereafter receive a degree, - an average of fifty per cent for the whole academic course being now the meaning of Harvard...
...unsightly appearance of the grounds. This depreciation affects not only the residents, but indirectly also the interests of the Memorial Hall Association. In view of this the Overseers have passed a resolution to tear down the wooden building and the seats, grade the land, and fence in the whole field.

The business of science is, indeed, analysis. It returns us elements for the wholes we give it. The danger is lest we lose the former, so much the more important. "The sense of the glory of the heavens is worth more than the physicist can tell us about them." But we are not to look for gain in religion more than in science. It might...
