The editors of the Harvard Portfolio have showed this year exceptional energy in making their issue a complete and comprehensive collection of the photographs which a senior would most care to take with him from his university. Especially to be recommended is the step taken to secure photographs of more of the instructors and officers of the college, the men to whom a graduate owes his college education. While the Portfolio last year contained but one small group of the professors, this year's issue devotes four pages to officers of instruction and government alone. This increase, in fact, is characteristic of the whole issue. The only groups that are missed are those of the graduating classes of the Medical and Dental Schools, and the group of the '93 sophomore theatricals has given way to one of this year's Hasty Pudding play. The views which are new this year are of the old quadrangle, the commencement speakers, the intercollegiate tennis team, the Institute of 1770, and the '92 base ball nine. The number of individual photographs of the senior class has been greatly enlarged, and three groups of university buildings have been added. The only thing to be regretted about the issue is the insertion of an advertisement between the preface and the table of contents; a more artistic eye would have confined all the advertisements to the ends of the volume. On the whole the Portfolio this year does great credit to its editors. The likenesses are, as a rule, excellent, and the whole volume presents a very neat appearance.
