...original building contained the main hall, 115 feet by 84 feet at its widest extent, the running track, rowing room, bowling alleys, committee rooms, measuring room and office, while the lockers were in what is now the chest-weight corridor. The crew practiced in the rowing room, but the various petty teams that occupy the Gymnasium today were not taken into consideration...
...simplest, narrowest field of political activity is discussion with your neighbor. The widest field at present, with the possible exception of work in a few high offices difficult to reach, is offered by newspaper writing or management. If the college graduate realizes that he has thus far only 'learned to study'; if he combines a desire to learn with a capacity for receiving strong impressions and a real sympathy with the people; if he is willing to wait a long while, and perhaps indefinitely, for wealth, I should advise him to seek political and other useful activity in newspaper work...
...well known that under the favorable climatic conditions of the moist regions in the tropics, plants take on the widest diversity of forms, thus adapting themselves to their surroundings.

By means of the large number of illustrations and specimens which the Botanical Museum possesses, Professor Goodale will show the difference between our erratic spring, where the vegetation is still dormant, and this season in the tropical regions, where plants are growing in great profusion...

It is a system demanded by the logic...

A swimming tank finished in marble is also in the basement. This tank is 100 feet in length and at its widest point is 50 feet. The floor is so made that from or steel nails, are done away with wooden pegs being used instead. Andover Academy has a larger gymnasium than our own. The time has come I belive, when Harvard herself should take in this matter a step consistent with her general progress...
