Stran 193 - Potter has studied carefully the brief titles of this rough list, and has succeeded in identifying a large proportion of them. Although only one, or at most two, of the identical volumes bequeathed by Harvard survived the fire of 1764, and have come down to our day, it was found that many of his books were now represented by other copies on our shelves.

The university purchased in 1906-7 an interesting collection of material on anagrams gathered by the late Walter Begley, vicar of East Hyde, England, author of works on anagrams. This is a unique collection on this subject. The University...
Stran 316 - ... little building which Harvard University could spare for them as a scanty shelter, it was hoped that only a short time would elapse before a new and worthy museum building would have been erected through the liberality of American friends of German culture. These hopes have not yet been fulfilled. Here is the opportunity for our fellow citizens of German origin to prove to the world that they do not leave their ideals at home when they leave the fatherland; and here is a chance for all Americans...
