...given to the eleven is admitted by all to be an admirable idea. There is always a certain class, however, who, although willing to give such a plan their nominal support, are sure to stop their interest there. It is to such men as these that we make our appeal. We have as a college stood by our eleven in a manner admirable. But just now the really trying time begins. We are sure to meet in the next few weeks a deal of criticism of our recent withdrawal, and however much we may feel this criticism to be unjust...
...first Vesper service of the year will be held this afternoon in Appleton Chapel. These services have steadily grown in popularity since their inauguration, and it is because they fill a distinct place in the life of the university.

As long, certainly, as we are deprived of the fullest posible privileges of our library, we are parially...
...once assured. In this preliminary task, the students of our own truly national university, gathered here from every community of the common fatherland, are above all others in a position to render effective service. The writer hopes that all who are willing to assist in putting an appeal into the hands of the enlightened friends of higher education in other cities and states. will make themselves known to him at their earliest convenience. We have abundant reason as Harvard men for special pride in the Institute and its work, since its founder and present head, and two of the annual...
