...freshmen yielded the field and the seniors and juniors started the new journal, which was called the "Harvardiana." The first number, of octavo size with a blue cover engraved with a picture of University Hall, appeared in 1835. The editors in their opening address offer a very remarkable array of talent: "The frank and high-spirited son of the South, the cool and indefatigable Northerner, the poet with tremulous nerves and flashing eye, the reserved and imperturbable mathematician, the meditative and subtile metaphysician, are all for a time united and will probably impress their distinguishing peculiarities upon the work...
Recitations and lectures were held from eight o'clock in the morning until four in the afternoon, three years being the original undergraduate course. The scriptures were carefully studied, and the ancient languages, Chaldee, Syriac, Greek and Latin, formed a large part of the curriculum.

The only absolute prescription is, in the freshman year, rhetoric and English composition, German or French, the other being required for admission, and attendance once a week upon lectures in chemistry and physics, and in the remainder of the college course English composition in the form of "themes" and "forensics" only. In addition to these prescribed exercises...
...waited to see what all the controversy was about, resolved, nevertheless, to take Princeton's side, however we might differ among ourselves on theological questions. Happily, before we could meet in martial array, it was explained that Dr. Holmes alluded to Andover seminary when he spoke of dry creeds that never learn anything. It is fortunate that the war shifted from big Princeton to little Andover...
