...Monthly for December prints three contributions of particular timeliness: a brief account by Mr. Tillinghast of the Harvardiana now on exhibition in the College Library, a cordial editorial congratulation of Professor C.E. Norton upon his eightieth birthday, and an ode, "The Founder," by R. E. Rogers. Mr. Rogers sees in the eyes of John Harvard, as they look out upon the Delta, a vision of the College which bears his name, and interprets for us the thoughts of the Founder with respect both to the past and to the future. He well brings out the Puritan loyalty to England...
