...Harvard, and comments on our prospects for the present season, Mr. E. K. Adams's article on "The 'Outside' Papers of Harvard," a term meant to include all the College periodicals except the five undergraduate papers, gives interesting information on a subject probably little known to undergraduates. Variety and relief are gained by an amusing ghost story by Mr. H. B. Sheahan. On the whole, the issue, though somewhat perfunctory in tone and journalistic in style, is mildly interesting and informing...

Last spring a movement was started to place a memorial to Dean Shaler in the Union. Considerable interest was manifested by graduates and undergraduates, but as the Union was unwilling to start a precedent by allowing a bas-relief to be placed in the building, this project was abandoned. It seems a pity that some form of memorial to Professor Shaler cannot be placed where it will recall his memory to all undergraduates.
