...never been possible for Harvard to adopt the plan of class segregation which at Yale has been the chief means of building up a deep and inclusive college spirit such as Harvard--at least since the time of its recent tremendous growth--has not known. President Lowell has two plans for bringing about College unity which will have distinct advantages over the Yale scheme. The first of these is Freshman dormitories; the second is the thing for which the class of 1913 is now responsible--the Senior dormitories...
...Samuel W. McCall paid a deep tribute to the manner in which Colonel Higginson served his fellow men; he enlisted for life in the public service with no thought for himself but with simple devotion and consecration to those causes which his clear vision knew to be right. Always alert to the progressive movements about him, he early allied himself with the Anti-Slavery cause. In this field his work is scarcely second to that of William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips. When the war came he volunteered his life and sword for the cause he loved, serving with distinction...
...been very great. Its chief function in the past has been to unite for a genuine fellowship in the religious life those Episcopalians who have felt the need of a definite religious platform.

All we need now is the team, and we need that badly. Swimming is a sport that should not be neglected. It would give an outlet to a lot of the winter energy that is either wasted or is spent on gymnastics...
...graduated from Queen's College, Oxford, in 1886, and later worked under Sir Frederick Treves in the London Hospital, where he acquired the medical knowledge necessary for his career. In 1887 he became medical missionary to the North Sea fishermen under the direction of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, and cruised for a number of years about Iceland attending to the needs of the fishermen. Finally, in 1892, he went to Labrador, where he has worked ever since to alleviate the sufferings of the fishermen by building hospitals, co-operative stores, and orphanages...
