Again, strangers visiting Harvard naturally desire some souvenir of the place. To meet this long-felt want we suggest that lunch counters be set up in the transept and a free meal be given to every one who purchases a glass of milk and a bottle of Apollinaris water. The impression thus produced would be deep and lasting; one that would transcend all earthly considerations of space and time...
...meeting of the Board of Directors held last Thursday, it was voted that it is decidedly objectionable to have umbrellas taken into the Hall. It is understood by the Board that there is a risk in leaving umbrellas in the transept, uncared for, and it is their desire to provide some suitable means for the safe keeping of the umbrellas of those members of the association who do not wish to risk their umbrellas unwatched.

Not a flower was before a single-one of the many names engraved on the marble tablets which line the transept; not a flag floated in the breeze. Memorial Hall had another object besides that of a memorial; it was intended to educate the youth of Harvard College in patriotism. We cannot help asking if to disregard the laws of the State which made yesterday a legal holiday, to neglect...
