...perpetuate the memory of a man's character and actions; but it seems an idea worth carrying out in some form, when we think what an addition it is to the attractions of a room, if one of the window-panes has on it initials with an ancient date, or if there is an egg or piece of parchment handed down by successive occupants. A student hears, by chance, that his room has, years ago, belonged to an Adams, an Emerson, or a Sumner, and immediately he feels a bond of union, slight though it be, with those famous...
...Dining-Hall Association recently voted (253 to 204) to change the meal hours. There will be lunch at 2 P. M., dinner at 6 P. M., and breakfast as heretofore. Notice of the date of inauguration of this new system is soon to be given...

It is valuable as a reference to all interested in education. We think we recognize Harvard characteristics in the sensible remarks on the considerations which commonly influence a college corporation in the selection of its professors and instructors...
