...part played by these soldiers on the battle fields of the war, would reflect credit on the most perfectly disciplined and experienced soldiers of history. Many of them became famous. Robert G. Shaw, and William F. Bartlett are names well known to every student of the civil war. There are many others of scarcely less renown. Many of these brave sons of Harvard never returned to their homes in the North. Memorial Hall is a lasting testimony to the patriotism and gallant death of one hundred and thirty-five. It is indeed impressive, at every Commencement to note the vacant...
...Section. The latter department would doubtless be of most value to the American student, as the aim of the others is more confined, being chiefly directed to fit for the civic and diplomatic service of France.

Look down into the valley of the Mystic, look beyond toward the Middlesex Fells, look back to old Cambridge and see the lofty tower of Memorial Hall looming above everything else...
...house adjoining the palais des archiues. The courses are public and free. The course of study takes three years to complete. The term opens in the middle of November and ends the first of August. The subjects taught are paleography, languages, bibliography, diplomacy, political, administrative and judiciary institutions; civil and canon law of the middle ages. Such a school is a heaven for the specialist in any of these subjects. The instructors are all eminent men, and the number of students is so limited that each and all of them come in direct contact with the lectures...
