Collections of the Harvard University Archives

This diary covers some of the years of Abbot's graduate study at Harvard.

Includes the printed final examination in Mathematics 13, 1907.

Brief informtion for vistors to Harvard University. Includes paragraphs on Harvard Yard, student residences (houses), museums, libraries, laboratories, and graduate schools both in Cambridge and outside Cambridge. A map of the Cambridge campus and Business School buildings signed "Raisz '49" covers the last page.

A marked copy of "The Crisis" Page 199 bears a pair of manicule stamps pointing to W. E. B. Du Bois' editorial rebuking Harvard University President A. Lawrence Lowell for segregating freshman dormitories. Page 218 is unmarked, but a section is entitled "Harvard and the Negro." Additional markings include a stamp and pencil combination that reads "Harvard College Library from the President's Office, Mar. 21 ,1923" which appears above the caption. "Marked copy" is stamped on the cover and "pp. 199 & 218" is penciled on cover. It is unclear who made the markings or how the journal was acquired by the President's Office. From the acquisition stamp in the library, we know that it was quickly transferred from the President's Office to the library.

Parody of The Atlantic Monthly; both design and content mimic the original.

Collection contains an issue of the Daily Graphic (New York) for Sept. 12, 1874 that features on its front page a large cartoon of Prof. Fiske surrounded by monkeys.

11 loose plates of elevations and floor plans inserted in a paper portfolio, bound with a string tie.

The diary entries are short, businesslike notations of daily activities, such as lunches and dinners, meetings, and attendance at performances or social events. They lack detail about the events and have no narrative of any length; however, they provide names of principal people and locations of activities, and occasionally titles of performances seen. The diary begins with Andrew's days as an instructor and assistant professor at Harvard and makes reference to his colleagues and students. The diary makes reference to his home and neighbors in Gloucester, Massachusetts as well as to his relatives, his career, and prominent figures of Andrew's day in education, the arts, politics, and society.

Illustrations by Francis Gilbert Attwood (Harvard College Class of 1878), Washington Allston (Harvard College Class of 1800), and John Green Curtis (Harvard College Class of 1866).

Leary's address to a symposium on predicting outcomes of psychotherapy. He proposes a "thinking therapy."

Mr. Chamberlain's reply to Adam's criticism of Classic Studies as being rooted in the past without connection to the present. Chamberlain delivered this address at Phillips Academy at some later date than the one at Harvard cited in the title. His arguement focuses on the skills in reasoning attained by the study of language.
