...this "competent legal authority" are fully aware. Why then do they not use those means to obtain those rights, instead of seeking a doubtful vindication by the hazardous and expensive method of starting a new paper? It would seem that this extraordinary readiness to abandon legal rights shows a lack of confidence in the validity of those rights, though so confidently asserted, and that the scheme of starting a new paper, instead of being the protest of a deceived and outraged majority, is the last resort of a beaten and desperate faction...
...much to be regretted that Prof. Lanman has been unable this year, through lack of time, to give the course of lectures on Buddhism announced in the catalogue. This subject has, of late, been receiving special attention among scholars, and the results of their investigations would be of great interest just now to the great majority of students.

Most Harvard men (especially the faculty) do not think that "the recognition of the dead soldiers of the Civil...
...launch was to cost for repairs about $800 it is probable that the launch would have been sold. When, however, several hundred dollars had been spent on the launch, it was deemed foolish to abandon it because it was to cost a hundred or two more. So through lack of knowing at first what repairs were necessary, this very large sum has been expended with only a partial success as a result. Alcorn, the machinist, has been paid, exclusive of work on launch, about $200. Geo. Smyth has been paid, exclusive of work on launch, about $250. John Smyth, whom...
