...play. Its mood is the mood of poetic drama, but its matter is contemporary and actual. One is given at times a conviction that if a millionaire, instead of a practical but unmoneyed idealist were leading them, the Jews would follow as one man. So much of necessity has money meant to them. But then again one sees only the sublime doggedness of their one highest ideal-resisting compromise. The play in short sets one thinking, sets one contemplating a great ungathered people's fate as well at its own as at others' hands. Mr. Davis has proved himself behind...
...Museum of Comparative Zoology to the President and Fellows of Harvard College has been issued by Mr. Samuel Henshaw h.'03, curator. The Museum has received for an addition to its invested funds the sum of $5,000, the gift of Miss Maria Whitney. The income of the money will be applied to the care and increase of the Whitney Library, the volumes of which were brought together in great part by Miss Whitney's brother, Josiah Dwight Whitney, Sturgis-Hooper professor of geology from...
...excavations carried out by the Harvard expedition to Samaria were made possible by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff who, in 1905 offered to provide the money for excavating the mound which buries Samaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Israel.

The employment of too many soldiers is also a great evil, because it prevents these men from being productive laborers and makes them consumers of public money. By the example of the Civil, Boer, Crimean, and Napoleonic Wars, conditions are proved to be at least as bad, if not worse, after a war as during it, disproving the theory that one nation gains commercial advantages by destroying the trade of another...
...often the case the neglect is not due to the lack of interest of the men in charge but to the lack of funds in their control. It is a great pity to allow banners and other destructible relics to be ruined because there is not enough money to preserve them, and to allow cups to be hidden away out of sight because there are no cases to put them in. Certainly this is a cause which deserves recognition from the class treasurers, and the example of 1908 should be followed by the graduating classes of the future...
