...growth in number of foreign students at the University has been remarkable. Since the colleges of the United States have generally strengthened some one department so that they have an international reputation for this specific branch, it would not be surprising to find foreign students flocking to the colleges which specialize in the field of learning in which they are interested.

...exceptional growth of the Fogg Art Museum during the past five years both in the number and the quality of its works of art is the subject of an article by P. J.

There is a somewhat prevalent impression that the work of the Graduate School has been developed at the expense of Harvard College; but in the Department of Economics, at least, it is perfectly clear that, without a large body of graduate students, undergraduate instruction...
