...left of the picture is a separate scrap showing the sunny vine- covered side of Massachusetts Hall. "Cambridge on the Charles" is a wide view across the river marshes of the trees and spires of the town. The stream winds on unrippled in the sun and the drowsy shade is massed densely in the distance, while the square shoulders of Memorial Hall push up into the sky on the right. Low in the middle distance is the cupola of Hemenway Gymnasinm, and further on a slender spire or two more. The whole thing is dreamy and soft and full...
...means whereby a high rank may be obtained. The former system of credits was notoriously unfair, for who, if he be a man of insight, will undertake to say that one deserves a percentage of ninety-eight while the work of another is placed at ninety-seven. The shade of difference is too minute to allow of the one student's calling himself first in his class, while his equal, likely enough, is ranked second. In addition, men do not come to Harvard to be ranged in a catalogue of their worthiness or unworthiness, no more should they...
...from the rear of the runners. Nearest to the camera was the rearmost man, either Horr of Cornell, or Lund of Harvard, fully 10 feet behind his leaders.

This cannot be done unless more men go out and practice. As it is at present there are scarcely more candidates than there are places to be filled. Eighty-nine should wake up and furnish a dozen or so more men to learn...
...true that the students of Harvard smoke more, drink deeper, and live faster than the students of other colleges? Let us look at the matter a little closer for a moment. In a university so large as Harvard it will be possible to find students of every shade of private character. Some of us affect the Byronic and boast themselves "perfect Timons, not nineteen." Others betray the evil course of their life quite unconsciously. A few of us are cheats, and betray it in all that we do. But notwithstanding such exceptions, is it true that the spirit of Harvard...
