While in College, Mr. Greene was president of the CRIMSON, and sang on both the Freshman and University Glee Clubs. After his graduation, he spent a year abroad and afterwards went to the Law School for two years. Until 1901 he was associated with the University Press, and edited the Harvard Bulletin; in that year he accepted the position of secretary to President Eliot, which he held for four years, resigning in order to accept his present position. Three years ago he was also made a member of the University Council...
...shown in 1907-1908 is missing. In fact, the credit balance last year was so small that without the money collected by subscriptions there would have been a decided deficit. The increase in the football expenses was, of course, due largely to the trip to New Haven-money well spent. However, we have always disbelieved in the practice of supporting teams by subscriptions, and it certainly seems as though the expenses should be kept within the receipts, exclusive of subscriptions.

Major Higginson began his address with a short account of Professor Agassiz's life, especially that part relating to his marine work and to the upbuilding of the Calumet and Hecla mine, a feat he accomplished only after hard and protracted labor. "After 1873, he spent several months of each winter in some foreign country to make researches, and it was during these times that he did so much sea-dredging." Mr. Agassiz's scientific writings number more than two hundred titles, including volumes and short papers...
