We invite all members of the University to contribute to this column, but we are not responsible for the sentiments expressed.
To the Editors of the Daily Crimson:
In Guthrie's "Universal Geography," the "new edition, enlarged, corrected and improved," published in London in 1795,- are these words:
"Cambridge Town, commonly called Newton, is situated on the northern branch of Charles River, about three miles from Boston, in which are several good streets; but is most considerable for its University, consisting of three colleges. It is governed by a president, five fellows and the treasurer, who have each of them a competent revenue settled on them.
"Salem, Portsmouth, New Haven, Newport, and the other towns of New England, are in general neatly built, and commodiously situated on fine navigable rivers, with good harbors, but have nothing remarkable in them.
