...very glad to see the interest that is being generally taken in colleges throughout the country in the exhibition at Chicago next summer. For the past few months we have seen numberless items to the effect that "Amherst has applied for a thousand square feet at the World's Fair", "The University of Michigan has received $3000 from the state towards the expenses of an exhibit at the World's Fair", and many others. In short it appears that nearly every college in the United States will be, in one way or another, represented at Chicago next summer. There...

...Harvard. "In the Bostonians," by Henry James, there is description of the college exterior in one of the principal chapters. The scenes of the first part of Howells's "April Hopes" is a Harvard Class Day. In addition to the bibliographical contributions enumerated above, there have been almost numberless pamphlets and reports from the various departments of the University; outlines and grinds in the various history and political economy courses, public lectures, and the publications caused by the commemoration of the 250th anniversary. There has been a marked increase in the publication on law and sociology, theology and philology...
