...have a proof sheet of the cover of the new Index before us, and it is gratifying to see that it is quite a departure from the time-honored, meaningless palm tree or some similar design. The medals or seals of the various college societies are placed in a rather artistic way here and there on the page. The Advocate's Pegasus and Lampy himself are there, and the CRIMSON is represented by the color of the ink in which the design is printed. Though the arrangement and prominence given to the different societies might have been a little more...
...regret, which the cordiality of your welcome and which your reassuring kindness can only temper. If the fact be recalled that but twelve out of twenty-one who occupied before me the chair which I now have the honor to fill, had the advantage of a collegiate education, a proof is presented of the democratic sense of our people and not an argument against the supreme value of the best and most liberal education in high public position.

...clothes a great institution with personality and makes it live in all the fullness of intelligence, and affection, and will. It is not an uncommon power.

J.," another proof of the extreme subtlety of freshman wit, warned all students from entering the yard during the celebration. Still another asserted that the college had been "waiting for '90, 250 years;" this was unaccompanied by any statistics showing the in corresponding depression of the college for the first two hundred...
...Apostle to the Indians, John Eliot, give to our Massachusetts history, for without him we should have lost that singular example of a man who may be said to have created a language, certainly in its literary form, of which the monument of his patience and erudition, and the proof of how a language may die, stands to-day in the score copies or more which have come down to us of the Indian Bible. What would the first gathering of the church here in Cambridge have been without the saintly Thomas Hooker, who led his flock through the wilderness...
