...would like to call the attention of the Dining Association to a little matter which is certainly within their jurisdiction. Will they see to it that the obstreperous newspaper boys, who gather in crowds at the entrance to Memorial, be quieted to some extent? Playing tag and loud shouting seem hardly appropriate in the transept of Memorial, but these small youths seem to possess as little regard for the place as for the comfort of the students. Indeed, the cries of "Record, is a cent," and "Buy the only reliable paper," which are levelled by the rival venders...
...this evening instead of Sever 11? We feel sure that Sever 11 will be crowded to its utmost capacity, and there is a strong probability that many students will be unable to gain admission. All of us know to our cost in what numbers the citizens of Cambridge gather together when there is any lecture of special interest under the auspices of Harvard or any college society.

If our eleven could have been mistaken for the 'varsity, certainly the other would have been mistaken for Princeton. Now if this is not an absolutely...
...significant remark was made by Dr. Brooks in his sermon on Sunday morning, - "And now it is the privilege of festival times like these . . . that the college feels anew its relation to the whole of things. . . . . On his birthday, when he stops his work to gather up his life, the man knows himself more than the individual; the whole humanity to which he belongs grows dear to him." The greatest benefit of the celebration just over is the lasting influence of its inspiration, in giving the students at once a clear conception of the real meaning of college work. There...
...enthusiastic study pauses for an instant, and for that quiet moment it feels the grasp of all knowledge warm around it. In its great anniversary days the city bathes itself in the higher loyalty, the broader patriotism of the state. On his birthday, when he stops his work to gather up his life, the man knows himself more than the individual: the whole humanity to which he belongs grows clear to him. Nor is this something which belongs only to the day of anniversary observance. It comes with the lapse of history itself. Every institution which healthily lives is always...
