...much a scene every train is today bringing in numbers of students. Some will come, with the memory of their summer's joys over before them, to hibernate at Harvard, and wait the arrival of another summer.

Others, rested by the summer, will come with a true interest in their work, and with eager anticipation of the activities and associations of a college year...

During the summer the University has, at no small expense, remodelled and greatly improved the interior of the building. Furthermore, the membership fee has been reduced from ten to five dollars in order to put it within reach of all members of the University. It is expected that the funds put into the Union by the College will serve to make it a common meeting ground for all Harvard men in Cambridge. One of the important functions of the club will be to draw together the College and the Graduate Schools. To this end a number of rooms for students...
