The possibility of developing through experiment tasteful adaptations of the Harvard Arms to a variety of uses for which the Seal, even if it were legal, would be inappropriate, is one that may well commend itself to the students and the Alumni of the University. It is to be hoped that with the exhaustion within a year of the stocks of merchandise that do not conform to the new regulations, both...
