Sinossi
Excerpt from Harvard Lectures on the Revival of Learning
IN an admirable volume, entitled Harvard College by an Oxom'cm, the late Dr George Birkbeck Hill has spoken of the 'never-failing stream of benefactions by which the love of Harvatjd men is shown. For Harvard.l Among these benefactions is a fund for the endowment of special courses of Classical Lectures, for which Harvard is indebted to the munificence of a member of the Class of 1881, Mr Gardiner Martin Lane, of Boston.
