...obtained in no other city in this country. The Smithsonian Institute, the National Museum, the great government Surveys, sundry Government commissions and bureaus, whose work is largely scientific, and many retired officers of the army and navy, who have interested themselves in scientific pursuits, all combine to lay strong foundations for scientific activity. Here are laboratories affording the most admirable opportunities for all kinds of advanced investigation. A university founded among such surroundings, and equipped with an able body of professors, might reasonably be expected in time to rival the University of Berlin, the first university in the world...

For several years some of the events at the Yale and Tech. sports have been open to Harvard men an opportunity which has not been neglected by them. The practice and extra exertion have always had a good effect upon the men preparing for the sports here. The throwing...
...certainly seems that such a club would be productive of much good. From the very atmosphere of Andover, Harvard and Harvard methods are little known, and an active organization of Andover men here, working to exert their influence among men of their old school, would have a very strong effect. The work of the Exeter club at Yale is an example of the usefulness of such an organization...
