Everett Tryon King, a Junior in Harvard College, and the younger son of Professor Edward S. King, passed away this afternoon, February 22, after an illness of two weeks of pleuro-pneumonia. Although only 21 years old, he displayed an extraordinary brilliancy and versatility of mind. He took part in the work of the Harvard Observatory and showed that the ancient instrument, the abacus, could be used to advantage in calculations there. One of his latest enterprises was the study of color in the department of fine arts, a work so highly appreciated that he received an appropriation from...
...organized the "Harvard Union for American Neutrality." Its platform is replete with long-exploded sentiments of brotherly love, sentiments worthy of Mr. Bryan or the Kaiser's agents--in America. It asks Mr. Wilson to use "thoughtful deliberation rather than hasty or injudicious action."

These factors should be borne in mind in the interpretation of our results and in their application to other universities...
...which, if tipped at all, is likely to move in the South's favor, by the grace of that refinement if culture for which Southerners of position have ever been famous. It is false to assume that the material problems of reconstruction after the war ever obscured from the minds of the most intelligent Southerners those things of the mind and the spirit which make for the most enduring growth. On the contrary, possessed of a great tradition in education, they have clung to it firmly...
