...pleasant to think that Harvard is to have a substantial and lasting memorial of Longfellow, whose services for eighteen years as professor of belles-lettres contributed much to the renown of the university. It is especially gratifying to think that this tribute to the man whose memory is so dear to all of us should come from those English cousins across the Atlantic whose appreciation of him as a poet was almost, if not fully, as great as that of his own friends and countrymen. The act is only another instance of the growing feeling of friendship which is fast...
...battle fields of the war, would reflect credit on the most perfectly disciplined and experienced soldiers of history. Many of them became famous. Robert G. Shaw, and William F. Bartlett are names well known to every student of the civil war. There are many others of scarcely less renown. Many of these brave sons of Harvard never returned to their homes in the North.

This famous institution once sighted, we must not fail to climb the hill and get the view. The first thing however to attract our attention will be the reservoir, which is confidently close to the college buildings. The swimming tank...
...game of last Saturday should instill anew in the minds of the freshmen a determination to redeem, as far as it may be possible, the present languishing athletic renown of the crimson. That perfectly tangible reality, "Harvard indifference," cannot yet have brought its enervating influence to bear upon the members of '88, and they are not called upon to display as yet, the wonted apathy with regard to all athletic matters. It is to '88 that the college must look for a final effort against a clear score of defeats. The past year has been the most disastrous to Harvard...
