...CRIMSON is in receipt of a work on the "Source of the Mississippi," which might prove a source of great delight to members of History 18. Describing exactly what corner of what hill in what remote district a small stream takes its rise, and illustrating with full-page maps the course of said steam, Itasca Lake, and adjoining swamps and pasture-lands, this little work will serve as a powerful reminder of certain history courses in college. Being polemical as well as minute in detail, it offers additional charms. It appears that Messrs. Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co., sent an exploring...
...public, the number of visitors has greatly increased, so that it has become necessary to begin the erection of a large portico-front to the main entrance on the middle of the south side, and to transfer to it the staircases, which are now wholly insufficient to accommodate the stream of visitors. At the same time it will greatly relieve the now somewhat barren facade of the building...

All the happiness and gayety culminated when on Holmes' field the messengers arose from earth to carry the news...
...negatively critical, as Harvard men are, perhaps, too prone to be. It comes at first perhaps, from self consciousness and from a fear of ridicule. Be positive in your attitude, but not dogmatic. Plunge into the stream and learn to do things yourself. Intelligence and sympathy come with experience. Learn the lesson of doing the right that lies close at hand, from the brave action of Mr. Cable in publishing his two books "The Freedman's Case in Equity," and "The Silent South." His action in defying social ostracism for the sake of what he felt was the right should...
