...connected with Harvard, as well as to strangers, the new and thoroughly revised "Official Guide to Harvard University," will doubtless prove very useful on account of its accuracy and completeness. Mr. W. G. Brown, Deputy Keeper of University Records, who edited the Guide for the Memorial Society, has re-written entirely the first edition which was prepared and published in August, 1898 for the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The present edition, however, contains many additional illustrations. To the account of the founding of the University and its present departments, an historical sketch...
...fourfold expansion of rowing interest during the past two years, and not merely in interest but in success as well. This combination is certainly encouraging. There seems no lack of developing material to draw from, and that this material is rapidly developing, the past rowing season goes to prove. There were many old Weld men on the class crews, and three members of the present 'Varsity boat took part in last year's Metropolitan Regatta.

Arranged as it is it should prove most welcome to all students interested in literature...
Harvard men who saw the game at Philadelphia two weeks ago, felt quite confident that their nine would prove victorious when the U. of P. team came to Cambridge. Since then, however, although the physical condition of the pitchers is much improved, Rand's unfortunate accident has caused a general mix-up in the Harvard nine, and victory seems by no means assured. In spite of this the men are certainly capable of winning, and if they can keep from getting demoralized there is no reason why they should not turn the tables on Pennsylvania...
