...galleries. These drawings are the personal and spontaneous expressions which can be seen very seldom. The exhibit, in this case, is made possible only through the generosity of a University graduate, Mr. J. P. Morgan '89. Only the esthetically prodigal will not turn from his beaten track to enjoy...
...classics is somewhat difficult. If, however, we were to follow Mr. Palmer's suggestion of "unscrambling" the classics, we would be only creating another chaos. Specialization in a certain field is, of course, of importance for the graduate student. But I cannot see how an undergraduate can enjoy Virgil without learning to appreciate the language, the rhythm, the imagination, the patriotic fervor, and the human characteristics of the great poet, whose vitality cannot be extinguished even by the wave of our modernism.

With the possible exception of that of the city public library, there is in Cambridge no collection of newspapers from all parts of the country at all comparable to the of the Union. And the lecturers who speak from time to time...
