...Catalogue for '93-'94 made its appearance. There are comparatively few changes beyond those incident to another year's growth. The facts published in another column are so explicitly stated and speak so plainly for themselves that they need little comment or explanation here. We can only add a word or two on the general tendencies which the figures and facts presented reveal. The first thing that suggests itself is the marked growth of the university spirit as opposed to the simple college spirit. Everything in the catalogue points to the gradual reaching out of the Harvard spirit into...
...precisely where hundreds of the students will be in the next week. It must be clearly understood that this is not a warning based on any present danger; as we have said there is a remarkable state of good health prevalent here.

Underclothes, suits, overcoats and shoes will be acceptable. Clothes may be taken...

It is truly being very critically studied by the most able biblical scholars. As a result, some things in it are questioned by scientists, but not one of its spiritual or ethical...
...notice is given in the calendar of the second of Mr. Copeland's Monday evening lectures, and we have but a word to add here. Tonight's lecture will be peculiarly interesting because it will deal with literature of our own day. There is always a tendency, especially in lectures on literature, to turn to the past, for there all is certainty; time has tested the works of the past and only the most interesting and valuable have stood the test. It is very different when a lecturer deals with contemporary work; here there has been no test of time...
