...STUDENTS OF AMERICA:The students of Russia are many hundred of miles in distance from you, but they think of your land and your freedom very often. The same aspirations for the world of books and for an education animate them that animate you, but in their case, let me tell you, the obstacles to be overcome are vastly greater. Of the Schavic people, I am told, you know but little, and but meagre accounts reach you. I am not to tell you of the struggle going on over our vast Empire. The universities are a peculiar battleground for this...
Where is the usual course of lectures in hygiene? Among the voluntary courses this has always been a favorite and the number of men present have always expressed much interest in the lectures. This is an important subject for men to be informed upon, and one too often neglected by hard working students.

But beyond that, excepting the lectures connected with the gymnasium work, there has been nothing of the sort. Strangers are invited to speak or read before us, but of the home talent we have no advantage except by taking their courses...
...college men know, it is the word used by the students of Oxford and Cambridge to designate the crews which are picked from the various colleges and represent the entire university. The word, however, is not used exclusively at Harvard, but is common to all American colleges, being often the means employed to distinguish the college crew from the special crews of the undergraduate classes. But, aside from the correctness of this criticism, why should Harvard not be copied by other colleges? We are always ready, here at Cambridge, to copy anything that seems worthy of imitation, no matter what...
