The announcement of the prize offered by Mr. Ropes will be received with pleasure by all students in history. Mr. Ropes has devoted much time to the study of Napoleon's wars, and has recently completed an account of the battle of Waterloo, which is one of the most comprehensive in existence. The name of Mr. Ropes is, in itself, sufficient guarantee to all Harvard men of the worth of any subject which he should recommend, but double interest is lent to this subject form the fact that Mr. Ropes's own labors have been spent upon it.
We feel that there is occasion, not for urging the students to avail themselves of the opportunity, but rather for expressing their great gratitude to the man who has afforded it.
