Next week the first of the lectures on Harvard's history will be given under the auspices of the Harvard Memorial Society. Tickets are to be distributed to students of the University on the afternoon of each lecture. This is the first series of lectures of the kind that has ever been delived here and it is certain not only to be exceedingly entertaining but also of great value. Few members of the University have any real acquaintance with the history of Harvard during the last forty years. Every one of course is familiar with the great events that have marked that period, but very few know well the story of the gradual changes that have taken place as the horizon of the College has widened, both as regards the student life and the government of the University. The men that have been chosen to speak on the last three decades of Harvard's history, are all men who are most familiar through close personal connection with the subjects that they are to treat. The opportunity to attend these lectures is one that no student should be willing to lose.
