...Jacksonville, Florida, paper says a colony of Harvard students, seven in number, and two outsiders, are projecting a settlement in that State and expect to obtain a charter for that purpose. The representative of the proposed company, who is looking for a site, is Mr. Charles W. Luck, Harvard, '82, who left Jacksonville a few weeks since and went up the river in search of a spot upon which to locate the company.

Again, it is to our present freshman crew that we must look for men to fill places in the university, which will soon be vacated by members of the present junior and senior classes.

...that the college never was more deserving of affection than now. "There are," he said, "three Yale men, two Harvard men, and one Amherst man now in the faculty, and I could show you in five minutes where half a million could be placed and not be noticed. We expect $50,000 from the Clarke estate and shall raise each professor's salary $300 next commencement.
