...HARVARD CRIMSON announced that they would soon issue an 'alumni weekly.' The editors have since learned that three years ago a fully-attended and representative body of the alumni, presided over by Phillips Brooks, discussed the relative merits of a weekly, monthly and quarterly, and decided that for the object to be attained the last was to be preferred.

The whole income of the University from invested funds and from tuition-fees is needed to maintain the present scale of expenditure for salaries, repairs and improvements, general expenses, and the various useful objects to which the incomes of special funds are devoted. Under these circumstances, in the absence of any single benefactor who desires to erect a suitable reading-room and stack, is it not time that the whole body of the alumni and friends of the University should undertake to provide...
