...general's birthday. It is certainly a fact that Harvard doesn't recognize it in any outward way, Harvard students pass the day with their usual "Harvard Indifference" from all outside appearances. The flag on the Cambridge liberty pole and a few remarks in the newspapers are all that remind them that the day is a legal holiday. One year we did have some celebrations. In '83 there was a display in the yard of several patent fire escapes. whereby several ankles were sprained, one arm broken, and doubtless no end of bruises received. In the same year also many...

...thoughtful gift to the University. It was only just and suitable that Mr. Bridge should address the college at large, but as he had refused, his modesty must be the substitute for his speech. That he had traveled much and has twice encircled the globe was unnecessary to remind those present, as well as the fact that his ancestor was one of the first settlers in the town of Cambridge and the founder of the system of public schools which has made New England justly celebrated for educational facilities. Mr. Bridge had once before made the city of Cambridge...
