Harvard University has one building which is in a peculiar degree its pride and boast. It was erected at an expense of many thousands of dollars, gladly subscribed by the alumni of the university. It was erected with a purpose - it was intended for a memorial, and it has attained world-wide fame under the name of "Memorial Hall." Yesterday was Memorial Day. The hall and the day are memorials of the dead soldiers of the civil war. One represents the recognition the graduates of a university gave to their brave classmates, to the sons of the same Alma Mater...
...predict an excess of prizes to any one class would be dangerous, but '85 will find itself rather scantily provided for as the case now stands, although one surprise at least is promised from that class. The running, which is a just source of pride to us, will be as fine as usual, if our anticipations are realized, and in the other sports there is great promise of an excellent exhibition.

But when a man who is getting $2500 a year here is offered...
...This is manifestly unfair to the other departments. In this department, the men who take the courses do not begin to pay the salary of the instructors. It seems as if the men are leaving the departments where they are most needed. Our Greek department has long been the pride of our university, and it is closely followed in popularity by the department in philosophy, which has, of course, less men this year than last, as the great number of men at that time was due to abnormal causes...
