...question which may arise in reference to Harvard. Nearly complete files of all the college papers have already been secured. The "Harvard Lyceum," the first college paper, issued in 1810-11, the "Harvard Register," "Collegian," "Harvard Magazine," "Advocate," "Magenta," "Echo," "Herald," "Crimson," all are more or less well represented. Many of the numbers, however, are missing and donations of all kinds are solicited. One or two odd numbers of college papers, class secretaries reports, theatrical programs, photographs, in fact anything, however small, will be thoroughly appreciated.

The editorial on Bloody Monday punches is an expression of the best sentiment of the college and is a well-timed protest against a custom, which has become a disgrace. Ninety-two cannot complain of neglect. Mother Advocate, as she dubs herself editorially, coddles the freshmen with a tenderness almost touching, both in the editor's column and in "Topics of the Day." The latter is a few words of valuable advice which deserves...
...short essay, "An Ambition," is an attempt to answer the old question "Is life worth living?" Its delicacy and thoughtfulness make one regret that it is not more elaborate. The idea of "Misericordia," is good and the style is clear and well-worded, but the brevity and disjointedness of the treatment detract much from the general effect of the story. Of a very different style is the story of "A Crime," from the French. It is vivid and picturesque, though the plot-a dream of a man who contemplated murder-is too horrible to be pleasant.
