...months, is rather remarkable. We have before us a list comprising books by Profs. Palmer, Childs, Lanman, Shaler, Trowbridge, Laughlin, Dr. Royce, and Messers Preble and Parker. Dr. Royce, Mr. Wendell and Dr. Taussig, each have, we understand, a book in preparation. Apart from the natural pride we feel in seeing these gentlemen appear in print, we are gratified over this literary activity because of the practical benefits we expect will accrue therefrom to Harvard. It is rightly the constant end and aim of this university to seek to increase the proportion of workers among its students. Some drones there...
...duty in thus failing to contribute your mite towards the maintenance of this society? Will it be due to your carelessness and indifference that Harvard will have the disgrace of failing in an enterprise which is being carried on with success at other colleges? No, we think not. We feel sure that, now that examinations are over, you will come forward and avert the pending misfortune; but, because the amount necessary to be raised is so ridiculously small, do not, therefore, think that your help is not needed.

...disposed to criticise the management of the society, indeed, the students, and not the superintendent and directors, are to blame, but we do feel that the best of judgment has not always been exercised in making purchases. For instance, there is in stock about $35 worth of calendars, worth now at the nearest junk-shop about a cent and a half a pound. It speaks well for our habits of cleanliness that the superintendent felt justified in laying in such a large stock of soap, but we think that nearly $250 worth is just a little too much. But these...
