Harvard College was founded in September, 1636, and its first class of nine members graduated in 1842. Its 200th anniversary was duly observed. September 8, 1836. Appropriate services were held in the First Parish Church. A large tent was erected south-east of Gore Hall, on the rising slope, where, after the services in the church, the large assembly of the alumni of the college sat down to dinner...
...Springfield Republican thus describes the beauties of Cornell: "The immediate surroundings and scenery of Cornell are romantic in a high degree.

...found that the college grounds would be cramped by the building of the new Jefferson Laboratory, the hollows were filled up and a large hummock leveled, then this new field was planted with grass-seed.

...stone walk still remains below the surface of the water, and during every rain its hollows still collect puddles of water into which the unwary student plunges. The only remedy for this evil is to raise the flagstones a few inches and to give them a very slight slope so that the water may run off and not collect on the uneven surfaces. But to accomplish this money is required, and presumably the ever low condition of the college funds would not warrant such an outlay. therefore, I propose that a subscription paper be started by those who find...
