Today, the 1936 edition of the Harvard University Catalog, a 1071 page book listing the students, faculties, and officers of all departments of the University, and briefly describing their activities, will be ready for distribution...
Little if any basic changes have been made in the catalog which is slightly larger than the 1935 edition. Completer accounts of such organizations as the Harvard University Press, and the Hygiene Department are to be found, while a few organizations such as the Harvard Infantile Paralysis Commission are listed for the first time.

It is a disturbing account, calculated to make any responsible citizen treasure every green tree and each clear brook of his native land. The oyster...
