...Deutscher Verein deserves to be commended for the active part it has taken in making its members acquainted with prominent guests, and for its success in imparting to the organization a truly German atmosphere. The celebration this evening is indicative of the spirit in which the Verein is conducted. Possibly the unusual activity this year is due to peculiar causes; but whatever the reason, the other foreign societies will do well to follow this plan, and endeavor to be really representative of the countries for which they stand.

...finally, over 11,000 volumes are "reserved" books taken from the stacks at the request of instructors and kept here, that they may be easily accessible and equally useful to all. This purpose is realized only if all who consult the room consent to use the books in a spirit of fairness and with due regard for the rights of others.

We wish, however, that Lampy could be persuaded to dismiss the slave and wring the Ibis's neck. It would spare us and him much in point of soliloquies about his menage, which we doubt not sounds as dull in his warn...
Last evening in Phillips Brooks House President Eliot addressed a meeting of the Harvard Menorah Society and representatives and the Jewish race from many of the New England colleges. He began by saying that Harvard University was founded for the search of truth and freedom, and that in this spirit the students of Semitic descent were received. The Jewsih race, he said, had a history piteous and full of pathos, and that it remembered three great captivities and times when it had had freedom only to think and hope, and but that now in this land it had found freedom...
