...gathered here to commemorate the birth of him, to whom more than to any other man we owe our life within this University. Three hundred and nine years ago John Harvard was born, the man whose gift was later to bring into being Harvard College. Today we do honor to him, and to this statue we turn in tender gratitude...
This morning, to commemorate the 309th anniversary of his birth, the Memorial Society will hold its annual exercises in the delta in honor of John Harvard, founder of the University. As Dr. Fitch said on Sunday, to judge from the attendance one would hardly realize that this was a University function. But it ought to be one of the first duties of every community to honor its founder in an appropriate...
...members of the University are invited to join the Memorial Society in doing honor to the founder of the University in the Delta near Memorial Hall tomorrow morning at 8.30 o'clock.

Even world-strife will not conquer her intellectual supremacy...

They serve mainly to show the shift and variation from year to year, as brilliant men chance to attend different schools, but they also show a tendency of some schools to remain in the honor class. While St. Mark's, last year's leader, is unrepresented this year, and Boston Latin, this year's leader, was in ninth place the year before, Exeter, Country Day School, Groton and St. Paul's School have shown a tendency to hold their respective places. Although one year's high rank...
