...into a corner,--the fact of this being in the College grounds is, in comparison with these disadvantage, of little weight. The location next, on the Foxcroft grounds, is a good one, were there no other available or mentioned; but it is at present away from the line of main movement, though not out of touch, being hard by Memorial Hall and many of the other buildings. But this would necessitate giving up, I infer, "Foxcroft," though that is, perhaps, not a serious objection. But I fall to see what possible objection obtains against the site at first suggested...
...seems to me that in all the editorials and communications which have appeared in your columns opposing the erection of the new University Club on the corner of Quincy and Harvard streets the main consideration has been altogether neglected. Ninety per cent, of the social clubs of the College have their club-houses in that section of Cambridge which lies to the south and west of Massachusetts avenue and Harvard square.

Under the first main head, are the names and addresses of the University's business officers; and, in the second division, is the first announcement "Instruction by Doctors of Philosophy" and an account and prospectus of the new Summer School of Theology. The departments of Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine are discussed at great length, owing to their combination and reorganization last spring...
...many questions which arise in connection with the proposed new fence around the College Yard, of paramount importance is the consideration of the kind of structure necessary. Among the plans thus far suggested is that of building a fence similar to the one enclosing Soldiers Field, with the main idea of securing "exclusiveness." Such a formidable fence would not suit the present requirements. The fence in question was built from a practical standpoint only, for such was the exigency of the case. It was built to repel; that is not Harvard's policy. As for exclusiveness, if Harvard...
