...stated on good authority that a finely illustrated edition of Whittier's poems will soon be published, similar to that of Longfellow's which made its appearance last year. The engraving will be executed in the finest possible manner and the book will probably appear about the first of April...
...moment her daily routine of recitations. The annual day of prayer for colleges, a day in which nearly all other colleges suspend recitations, is totally disregarded at Harvard. In fact, it is hardly ever heard of here. Washington's Birthday and other legal holidays are disregarded in the same manner.

Great indignation is felt here among faculty and students, and must everywhere be felt among the alumni and friends of the college against Mr. Chadbourne for this action. The cause for this sudden outburst of malice is unknown, but the general belief here is that he has been "most terribly left...
