...Academic department, 308 in the Scientific, 133 in the Divinity School, 106 in the Law School, 47 in the Art School, and 35 in the Medical School. The increase in numbers during the past two years has been 231, of whom 120 were added this year. All the departments except the Art School showed a marked increase. One of the most encouraging signs is the large number of our own graduates who are pursuing their professional or special courses here rather than at other universities...
...speak, by the careless management of the dancing in Memorial Hall. While we hear nothing but praise of the concert itself, there is many a grumble audible about the poor music and the crowded floor in Memorial.

...hesitate to mention the introduction of electric lights into the library, because the matter has been already spoken of so often; and yet there seems to be no other way of bringing about this needed improvement except by continually harping upon it. We are assured from reliable sources that. provided the innovation were voted, the money for it would be forthcoming, a fact which simply proves that the conservative spirit common to all great institutions, and particularly powerful at Harvard, rather than a lack of funds seems to be the cause of our losing to some extent, the library privileges...
