...Harvard Echo. The paper is just what it aims to be, - an interesting record of Harvard's daily life. Its tone is not literary, but we cannot expect literary excellence in a daily paper. We do expect good sense and good taste. The Echo will necessarily become the medium of much criticism upon the authorities of the University, and we respectfully recommend it to pay strict attention to the tone of such criticism.

It is very unsatisfactory, and we may add unprofitable, for the art student to be obliged to study the works of masters through the medium of photographs. No conception of color and only an imperfect conception of form can be derived by this means. Mr. Moore has fully appreciated this fact, and with the purpose of educating and training the taste of the men in college who are interested in art, he has copied, with...
