The alert, nimble, wiry, tough body is, for professional or business purposes in after life, a better one than...
...speaker. President Eliot characterized the best Harvard man as the gentleman who is also a democrat.

During the year ending July...
...conscience cast his vote for the men who will make the Union what it ought to be--an honor to the University and to its donor. Let personal considerations nowhere arise; let us all remember the words of its donor when he gave his gift in generous trust into our hands: "May it be used only for the general good, and may private ends never be sought here...
