A firm has been established in Chicago known as the "Student's Literary Bureau," whose object will be to write "essays, orations and poems on every conceivable subject or theme."

Since then only two changes have taken place, first, in 1846, to the North Grove street building, which is still used for medical purposes ; and second, in 1883, just one hundred years after the introduction of the study at Harvard, to the present commodious building.
