...might truly be said, in a negative sort of way, that the only thing of interest about the Medical School for the last three weeks, has been the utter absence of everything of interest. Almost nothing breaks the monotonous succession of lectures, recitations, conferences, clinics, and demonstrations. Coming events certainly do cast their shadows before, and the distant shades of the coming Final Examinations are already spurring every member of every class to steady and hard work...
Dissecting is practically finished for the year, and another week or two will find the dissecting room almost deserted. Next week Dr. Morris Richardson completes his demonstrations on practical anatomy, making way for Dr. Mixter, who gives a course upon the muscles of the body, especially intended for first year students.

The almost entire freedom from restraint at Harvard, and the prestige of Harvard connections, have attracted a large number of social and worldly papillons from New York and Chicago society, whose lavish expenditures and dissolute living are no torious. Nevertheless, Cambridge is not a Capua or a Corinth, as Aleck Quest seems to paint it. Per contry, the moral tone of the students as a whole will...
