There are very few cases in which Harvard professors are ever accused of ever acting in any but a fair-minded, liberal way. It would seem, however, from an occurrence the other day that a similar statement could not always be applied to the students. One of the instructors recently told his division that he could not meet it until ten minutes after the hour. At ten and a half minutes past, the class left the recitation room and made no answer to the instructor who came in at that moment and said that he was at the disposal...
...auspices of the Historical Society on the Civil War, no lectures have met with as much general favor in the college as those now being given on California by Dr. Royce. The capacity of Sever 11 has been taxed to the utmost; and if large audiences continue, it would seem quite advisable that the place for the lectures be changed to Sanders Theatre. There can be little doubt that the great interest in Californian history, as well as Dr. Royce's unusual ability as a lecturer, would draw audiences that would not feel at all lost even in such...
...seen the beautiful and expensive experiments in freshman chemistry, the thought would seem absurd that the authorities could possibly fail to vote sufficient appropriations for the scientific departments of the university.

Although we possess one of the finest physical laboratories in the world, the appropriation this year for carrying on the work was only a few hundred dollars. In the study of physics delicate and accurate instruments are absolutely necessary. Many instruments in the laboratory are in so wretched...
...fair name of our college. Let something be done quickly to put an end to this crying evil. Let every man ascertain the names of those who thus misuse their power, and let them lienceforth be avoided as "dangerous beasts" by all who love the college. I would not seem to refer in anything I have said to those college correspondents who give their papers all the news, without attempting to make a disgraceful sensation of a cold, dry fact. On the contrary let men of this sort, and there are still a few in existence, receive all possible praise...
...first place, it is inadvisable to saddle an additional expense on the college at present. After the lofty freshman who speaks as lightly about the expense of the project has been in college a year, the infliction of an additional $4,500 on him and his class will not seem quite such a bagatelle after all. Apart from the fact that it would be very doubtful if the now beautiful Holmes Field would not be injured by the cheap edifice at one end of it, we are sure that the ball nine and the Mott Haven team would much prefer...
