Those who knew well William Samuel Eliot will not soon forget the lesson of pure and elevated character, of scholarly devotion and perseverance, taught them by the unobtrusive example of his daily life; and certainly there is no member of the class of '74, who can recall without a glow of affectionate admiration the manly endurance and patience, never in one thoughtless moment laid aside, with which he bore the pain of a long and distressing illness. His tastes and habits were those of a scholar, but he had a singular loyalty for and unselfish interest in all that concerned...
...very strange and very sad that the class of '74 should so soon lose two comrades from their ranks, and that within the space of twenty-four hours. On Monday last Nicholas Reed died in Boston, far from his home and from his only living parent, but, as his classmates will be very glad to remember, surrounded by kind friends, and in the presence of one who, in the time of his fatal illness, had acquired the best right to be his chief consoler...

We have been allowed a cursory examination of the books, however, and so few are the marks on many of the pages that we can with safety congratulate the Senior Class on the way they have started under the new system; there is no cause for discouragement, or reason to believe the rumors that are spread abroad that the present system is to be given up at Christmas or next term.

Best high jump, 4 ft. 6 in. 100-yard three-legged race, 12 s. Two-mile running-race...
...other parts of the December number are not without interest to undergraduates. Mr. Robert Grant, the class poet of '73, contributes a poem called "Hymen in Washington," which is very good, and is evidently more carefully written and more free than his poems of the same nature which used to appear in the Advocate. Mr. Hale also prints this month the address which he delivered in the summer to the graduating classes of Vassar and Cornell. It is called a "Life of Letters," and is well worth reading...
