...both curious and entertaining to note the change which has taken place in regard to compulsory morning chapel from the time of the Puritan founders of Harvard to the present day. Nowhere can the gradual modification and broadening of Puritanism be more clearly shown. Originally there being no chapel, services were held by each class in their tutor's room, but this was given up, and the college met as a whole in rooms in different buildings until finally Holden chapel was constructed. Under President Dunster's regime, before the chapel had been erected, there were some quaint old rules...
...time is now rapidly drawing near when we may expect the appearance of the Harvard Index, when the freshman underlines his name in the list of the Bicycle Club or Total Abstinence League and proudly sends it hime to his admiring parents, and so it may be interesting to note the differences between the annuals of our various sister colleges and compare them with our own less pretentions, but very useful representative. Yale's principal annual is the well known Banner which will shortly appear for the forty-second time, having been started in 1842. By the Harvard...
...show good taste. It is the only anual from any of the New England colleges that contains the photograph of the editors and as such displays individuality.

Through the efforts of a few members of the association the foot ball grounds were marked out and a team chosen some four weeks...
...accessions to the university library have been, as usual, very numerous. Among the first entries we note the reprints of the Aungerville Society of old papers of interest, extending through thirteen volumes. But one hundred and fifty copies of this work were printed. Several more publications of the Early English Text Society (Nos. 75-78) have also been added to the library. Under the head of theology we note "Die kirche Christi undihre zeugen, oder Die kirchengeschickte in biographieen" by F. Bohringer on twenty-four volumes, published at Stuttgart 1873-79. A number of volumes on the scientific exploration...
