...whole, correct idea which it gives us of Harvard men and Harvard life. Some of the scenes are particularly well drawn, - the account of the foot-ball match, for instance, that of the boat-race, and the description of Class Day.

A train of platform cars, with seats arranged in the form of an amphitheatre, will also keep along by the side of the boats from start to finish. Each car will hold...
