Some months ago a committee of the New York Harvard Club was appointed to investigate the cost of a new club house and a suitable lot of land. The growth of the club has been so rapid of late as to make larger quarters indispensable...

An interesting point in connection with this is that the increase in the number of graduates of other colleges who have entered these higher schools has been more than proportional to the growth of the schools, rapid as that has been.

It is true, indeed, that the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women has no legal connection with Harvard University; but there is in fact a much closer tie between them. Harvard rules and precedents govern in all departments of work at the Annex; the requirements for admission are the same; the examinations...
