It has been suggested that the seventh of February, which is the anniversary of the birthday of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, would be an appropriate day for the public reception of the bust of the poet, now on the way to our University. We understand that the bust which has been sent to the Maine Historical Society will be unveiled on that day, and it would seem very fitting for Harvard to follow this excellent intention. The celebration of the poet's natal day would add a certain impressiveness to whatever ceremonies the college authorities may see fit to hold, and the anniversary, coming as it does so opportunely, should not be neglected.
