Description:Excerpt from Harvard University During the Last Twenty-Five Years: 1889-1914 To record the history and progress of Harvard University even for a period of twenty-five years is no light task. Much has happened at Harvard since we graduated a quarter-century ago. It has been a period of growth and expansion; the following pages are an attempt to set forth the story of the changes that have taken place. No one can realize more keenly than the writer its shortcomings; but to tell the full tale of the growth of Harvard since 1889 in the space allotted me by our Secretary was impossible. Much that was of interest and of real significance I have had to omit altogether and much more to touch all too briefly. And at the beginning let me state that this sketch would not have been undertaken and could not have been carried even to a reasonable degree of completeness had I not had the kind permission of Mr. William C. Lane, Librarian of Harvard College, to make free use of the record he prepared in 1906 for the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Report of the Class of 1881. Not only has his account served as a model for the present paper, but from it verbatim quotations have been freely made. To him the thanks of the Class are due. Statistics of Growth. The growth of the University in size is what strikes one first. Here is a comparison of the figures for our senior year and the current year.
