Harvard has not lately taken great interest in secret fraternities, but the large number of these societies at other colleges must make Mr. Baird's work valuable to them.

...given there by Mr. Riddle. We understand that he is now reduced to the alternative of giving his lessons either in the old Gymnasium or in Upper Massachusetts. Considering the fact that neither of these rooms can be heated, and that they are poorly adapted for this use even if they could be, this proposition seems about as cool as the emperature is likely to be.
