...From the time I left Oxford I have made it a religion so far as I could, never to let a day pass without reading some Latin and Greek, and I can tell you that so far as my course may be deemed a successful one, I deliberately assert, maintain and believe that what little screens has been granted to me in life has been materially aided by the constant study of the classics, which it has been my delight and privilege all my life to persevere in."

We shall do our utmost to maintain a high tone throughout its columns, and to keep it up to the times in every...

There is no reason, however, why this year, Harvard college, with its largely increased size should not find it to its interest and convenience to support and maintain a reading-room which shall surpass in its size and general accommodations all previous institutions of the kind seen at Harvard or at any other college. Yale has a reading-room of the very first-class, largely patronized by all the students. It is true that at Yale the college...
