This department of the University is better fitted than ever before to give systematic instruction in the branches - agriculture, horticulture, and the knowledge of domestic animals - to which it is specially devoted...

That students in Harvard College should steal the property of fellow-students - overcoats, hats, or umbrellas - is something to be deeply regretted. The recent discovery of a student who had been taking his meals for a week at the Hall at the expense of the Association shows, however, that there are some among us who will stoop to acts of meanness; and we can only warn all to be on their guard...
