...almost any undergraduate why Harvard is no longer supported by the state, or how its graduates came to exercise so powerful an influence on its government, or any other question involving the past, and he will show a pitiful ignorance of the University's history. That this subject is both interesting and instructive will not be denied by anyone who has ever given it attention. The development of Harvard from the little "College at Newtowne" into the great University with its scores of buildings, its hundreds of teachers, and its thousands of students; its change from an institution dominated...
...concerts were in all instances very well received. The many receptions, dinners and dances given or arranged by graduates and local Harvard clubs formed a most enjoyable part of the trip.

This enrollment, almost the largest on record, is brought about mainly by the increased number of students registered in the Summer Schools, and the enlargement of the Faculty. The only year in which the registration was larger was that of 1903-04, when the total was 6254, 121 more than this year. The College shows a gain of 49, and the professional schools a loss of 16, the largest falling off coming in the Law School, which registers 67 fewer students than...
