...Library Bulletin, No. 7, lately issued, is far more interesting than the uninitiated would suppose. Its name of "bulletin" suggests a mere list of new books added to the Library, and is certainly not tempting to the average student. As a matter of fact, it contains much useful information on subjects in which many of us at Harvard are interested. The Bulletin consists of twenty-five pages, of which ten contain a list of the most-important additions to the Library since December. The remaining fifteen include some more notes on authorities in American History, by Dr. Lodge; notes...
...either ignorant of the actual facts of the case, or else guilty of intentional misrepresentation. The truth is that when Mr. Goddard took charge of the crew, the prospects were anything but encouraging; there were but few men trying for positions, and scarcely any life was shown in the matter. It was very largely owing to the interest he took in the crew that more applicants presented themselves, and that the men were brought into some sort of shape.

As the matter stands, we have challenged Cornell in a perfectly fair and open manner, and it is their own affair whether they accep or not; they can do either with perfect credit to themselves...
...mention of Jarvis Field forms a pretext for inserting three pages of base-ball records, in the course of which the implication is made that the game of July 24, 1868, which Harvard won over Yale, was the first contest of the sort between the two colleges. As a matter of fact, the Yale nine of '69 had before that date twice defeated the corresponding class-nine of Harvard; once as Freshmen in 1866 and once as Sophomores in 1867." The carelessness with which the World has treated this subject is remarkable. The Guide-book speaks exclusively of University matches...
