...these. Yale and Columbia have publication endowments which enable them to publish books of much value in scholarship, but they have no press. Princeton has a press but its purpose is narrower. Even the University of Chicago, although it has a press of its own, does not even attempt to take the scholarly position of such as the Clarendon press of Cambridge. Harvard not only has an opportunity to be the first to establish such an institution, but it is in a position to make it successful. Its thought has long been forcing a way into publication by various channels...

May the editors never forget the fact, that a pretty good poem is like a pretty good...
...moment Lampy's purple and yellow gymnasium suit. Its purpose is to lay bare the shocking nakedness of Ellis and other equally deserving islands to the eyes of the University. Gentlemen! their chattering teeth exposed to the furious tempests, their blue-black lips crackling and rustling in a vain attempt to produce the sadly sweet notes of "Aw, wert thou in the cauld, cauld-slaw" these shivering inhabitants of a deserted island beg you on their unbendable and likewise un-unbendable knees to clothe them in your cast-off garments. Charity begins at home, gentlemen. Shed a collar, a tear...
