...time after April 14 will receive full credit for the courses in which we have done creditably. This is not a wanton generosity on the part of the College; it is merely an award of work done well by men eager to do their part, but prevented by age or unavoidable circumstances. To have spent so much of a year in College and to go unrewarded would be an absurd as well as a hard fate. We do not hope that Harvard will be entirely deserted immediately after April 14, but we do hope there is a large exodus...
...President Eliot's life has been spent as president of the University, and his entire career has been closely connected with University affairs. He was born in Boston on March 20, 1834, and after acquiring his early education at the Boston Latin School, entered Harvard when 16 years of age, receiving his A.B. in 1853 and A.M. in 1857. Since then he has received the honorary degree of LL.D. from six colleges, and both the LL.D. and D.M. from Harvard in 1909. He served as President of the University from 1869 to 1909, a period of 40 years. Time...

...Hall had a certain charm. It could always glance over at Matthews or peer round the corner at Weld and put those two to shame from the standpoint of personal attraction. Also it was old, at least old for the United States, and it had become venerable. In its age, with wrinkles stealing on, it had settled down comfortably and seemed to announce to landscape gardeners and architects that it intended staying there for some time. We had all come to regard it as a privileged character, a near relative of Massachusetts, Harvard and Hollis, patriarchs of the family group...
...Department has recommended to the General Staff that 30,000 members of college training corps be given a month's military training this year at the various cantonments in the United States, from June 1 to July 1. An age of between 17 and 20 would be necessary to qualify. It is proposed to send an equal number of men to each cantonment, where they will receive thorough training as privates in the National Army...
