An interesting document has just been received by Mr. W. C. Lane, librarian, in a photograph of the earliest existing "broadside" triennial catalogue of the University. The photograph was taken from the only copy known to be existing, which is in the State Paper Office in London, and was contributed by Mr. Edward Bell '04 of the American embassy at London.
The catalogue was printed in 1674 and contains the list of graduates of the University since 1642 as well as the undergraduates in College. It is phrased in. Latin and begins with an elaborate dedication to the Governor, the Overseers, and the Faculty, by Leonard Hoar, then present of the University. An original poem in Latin addressed to the king closes the catalogue.
