...college, had the simple but comprehensive motto, Veritas; and in the name of truth, they make their petition. Or, if the incongrous present seal be still held across their request, it would be in order for them to remind the objectors that he for whose glory they claim the college was founded said : "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and, when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret...
...returns from the senators are not encouraging to any Harvard undergraduates who may be harboring an ambition to sit at the round board. The public schools may claim as their own 14 of the senators, while 13 received the finishing touches in academies. Harvard University, including the Law School, graduated 4; Amherst 2; Tufts: Williams, 1; and other colleges 2. Senator Howard was self educated. Hon.

The information will, we believe, be of positive worth to the faculty, and will render material assistance. Our correspondent again is relying wholly on imagination when he takes it for granted that the faculty are living in a "sterile atmosphere of extreme conservatism." Nothing but ignorance...
...claim that insufficient interest is taken in sparring. This is hardly true, inasmuch as the sparring-room is occupied part of the morning, and during the entire afternoon by men taking instruction. Moreover, reduce the price of the sparring lessons from eighty to thirty-five cents apiece, as the petition demands, and you will see the less wealthy men of the college avail themselves in great numbers of the opportunities afforded them to learn the sport at the reduced price...
