...There are many hospitals in Boston and Cambridge, which would be glad indeed to get them. If a box could be placed by the door in Memorial Hall, where those passing out could drop their papers, some institutions would doubtless be very glad to make arrangements for taking them away every morning and evening. It would not take much effort to start this kind work and if it could be accomplished much good could be obtained form material that is now wasted...

On the start, the Academic freshmen got the lead and maintained it to the end, winning in 5 minutes and 50 seconds...
...magnitude of this beneficiary aid, I doubt if people generally understand, and I have accordingly takes pains to ascertain what was the amount given away this year. I find that to undergraduates alone it was $36,000; to members of the graduate department, $11,000; and to the professional schools, $6,000; making a total of assistance to students of the University of more than $53,000. Next year this enormous sum will be increased $13,000 by the munificent bequest of Mr. Price Greenleaf. Fully to estimate the position of the poor man at Harvard, we should take into...
