...supervision of certain colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, and scholarships and exhibitions at these colleges were endowed for pupils trained at such schools, provided they pass certain, by no means easy examinations. Great good has resulted to education from this fact, and great gratitude is due to those generous and wise men of the 15th and 16th centuries, who thus secured to diligent students of the humblest classes the means of obtaining at school and college sound classical and scientific education...
...Ellis in his remarks retaking to this statue, at the recent meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, said "Though many of John Harvard's contemporaries, who,-though he had been so short a time in the country, must have known something of his personal history,-speak gratefully of his generous gift, not one of them has left for us the slightest information of facts which we should be glad to know of this youthful, delicate scholar, fading away of consumption early in the second autumn of his exile.

Our college authorities seem at present to be making an energetic bid for the Oberlin style of student, from which we beg leave to be delivered...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: The notable lack of accommodation in the way of college rooms invites attention to some effort to remedy this lack, until some generous patron has given us a new dormitory. Everyone has noticed that our oldest hall, Massachusetts, has long been given to vacancy and examinations, no use being made of it all, practically, except on rare occasions. The use of this hall as a dormitory was discontinued with the building of new halls some ten years ago in which sufficient accommodations were provided for all the students then here. With the advent of Sever Hall...
