Professor Charles Swain Thomas, Secretary of the Harvard Teachers Association, is the editor and Dean Henry Wyman Holmes will advise him in the capacity of Assistant Editor.

...Harvard zoologist, who has specialized in the subject, Harold J. Coolidge, Jr., vindicates Du Chaillu's account on the basis of his own experiences with the coast species, less timid than those of the interior and which type the early explorer described.

He hated its sibilance, knew that there was no "s" in Poe's original version. So Mr. Fontaine determinedly edited out the "s" with a chisel. A policeman arrested him for defacing the public monument...
