...Catalogue for 1891-92, which comes out today, cannot fail to be most interesting to all friends of Harvard, for it is the official statement of the present situation in all the departments of the University. In its general arrangement it does not differ from the issues of former years with which we are familiar, the only additions to the table of contents being the headings of "General Course in the Science" in Lawrence Scientific School, "Divisions and Departments" in the Graduate School, and the "Semitic Museum...
...present tables, however, are accurate, being compiled from the proof sheets of the catalogue for 1891-92. For that portion of the college which is governed by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences the present tables do not differ very materially from those already published, and the total for the college alone is the same as before.

The peculiar feature of them is that they are assigned in the freshman year and may be held throughout the four years of the college course. In this they differ from any other scholarships offered by the college. They are not so large as many of the scholarships which are assigned from year to year, but their permanent characters make them particularly desirable. They add quite a sum to the great amount which Harvard is already giving every year...
