Présentation de l'éditeur
Great men whose memory is today as green and wholesome as half a century ago, have transmitted to posterity the historic achievements of Harvard. They are achievements which have been accomplished by seriousness, achievements reflecting the staid light of our beloved Alma Mater. But, like in the great, busy world beyond our own College gates, there is a funny vein in life, if we but look for it. The Ofl ce is a mighty serious place for some of us, yet we never tire in attempts to think it a most grotesque retreat. And so it is with Harvard, and so it has been. In the short sketch of the College in these pages the endeavor has been to show that Harvard is not so serious an institution as some may have tried to make you believe. The A uthor. Cambridge, June 3, 1896.
