...would be particularly appropriate in this year of the Centennial; it would be an action, too, becoming an institution of learning, which ought to lead the way towards advancement and right, and most of all becoming Harvard, the Alma Mater of Sumner, who was the first to feel and impress on the country the duty of reconciliation with the South...
...titles failed to indicate the real subjects discussed, or where one subject was discussed under too great a variety of captions. In a few instances the author's name has been lost; and as in most such this is due to the negligence of the authors themselves, we would impress on all our contributors who desire to receive credit in the Index for their articles, the need of more care in signatures.

The course would be curtailed only in case the interest of the audience seemed to languish. We hardly think it necessary to impress strongly on undergraduates that with them depends the success of this undertaking, for it is impossible for us to believe that they can be so blind to their own good as to neglect such a golden opportunity for liberal culture...
