...harmless enough, but it would be well for the men who indulge in it to devote themselves to the present; for, should they look into the past records of the College, they will find many things which they would prefer to have blotted out. They would find, for instance, among the recipients of the highest degrees which the College confers, after such names as Archbishop Whately and J. S. Mill, the name of U. S. Grant, - a record which few men certainly would not desire to have expunged from the Triennial Catalogue. It is a never-ceasing source of wonder...
...first Bulletin of Library Accessions has been printed, containing the more important works received from December, 1875, to March, 1876.

Thus the Freshmen, with the exception of the few mathematical minds among them, have been forced to go through an ordeal the only value of which has been the questionable moral training which suffering gives. The private tutors in Cambridge find pupils almost solely in the Freshman class, and very rarely in any subject but Mathematics. It is evident that no study...
...time this withdrawal took place, the Crimson expressed great regret at the loss of so valuable a study, but the matter is too serious to receive only a passing notice. There are very few among us who have not felt, to some degree, the effect of the prostration of business at present existing, and yet still fewer understand the causes which have led to it. The laws of Political Economy are at the basis of all financial enterprises, both public and private. No government or business man can afford to ignore them. And yet young men are to be given...
