...meeting on Friday the Trustees of the Union voted that the seal designed by Mr. R. D. Weston-Smith '86, be adopted on February 1 as the seal of the Harvard Union. Five designs were submitted. Mr. Weston-Smith's design, which is here reproduced, represents, on a sable ground, a castle of a single tower, or; on the castle, above the gate, the Harvard shield in its proper colors. The tower, being the distinguishing feature in the Higginson coat-of-arms, is most appropriate for the seal of the Union. It was the common practice for a college...
...plans for the new Cambridge Hotel have been considerably altered. The site on Massachusetts avenue directly opposite Beck Hall, on the ground where the College In now stands, has been given up, and it has been decided to build on the Wessellioeft grounds on Harvard street, not far from the Union. The building will be four or five stories high and will contain about one hundred rooms. The cost will be $250,000, about half the cost of the hotel as originally planned. The building will have all modern improvements except that it will not be absolutely fireproof...

On January 26, 1893, with the snow deep on the ground, but with the whole University, officers, students and servants standing bare-headed, the funeral procession of Phillips Brooks, perhaps Harvard's most eloquent son, passed through the Yard...
...recollections to most upper classmen, may still be forgiven for its fidelity to the truth. The incidental sketches of Historic Cambridge, as well as the calendar for November, are very effective. Of the editorials, the first, though obviously necessary, is not happily done. Toward the end, it rambles into ground where trespassers should be prosecuted. The second editorial, about the Crimson-Lampoon game, is far better, quite in another class, combining fact and fiction in the Lampoon's own naive little way. It agrees to say nothing and succeeds beyond all expectation...
