EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: It has struck me frequently, while engaged in catching flies in the air during some uninteresting lecture, that it would be profitable for others of equal curiosity with myself, if the various busts and statues so profusely scattered through our recitation halls were decorated with placards telling what each represented. My own case, I feel sure, is daily repeated; where some twenty busts line the walls it is quite a tax upon a fellow's knowledge to expect him to name them off to his own personal satisfaction and with sufficient glibness to insure some appearance of accuracy. The suggestion is not important, but deserves notice. May we ask, what the busts were put there for, and if they are answering the intended purpose?
