...John H. Moreland, foreman of the University Press, who has "made up" the Advocate ever since it was founded in '66, was presented Thursday with a silver water pitcher and salver by the board of editors of that paper. The presentation marks the close of Mr. Moreland's long connection with the Advocate, which is hereafter to be printed in Boston...

The latter undoubtedly enjoys the great advantage of close proximity to the U. S. Courts; but there is a danger that this attraction may draw the student from his regular study and, on the whole, the Harvard professors are content to have the undivided time and attention of their pupils. The methods of the two schools differ widely...
