...settled the question of the destination of the championship pennant for 1885. While Harvard lengthened its lead by scoring its eighth successive victory, Yale, our most dangerous rival, fell one step more to the rear by dropping a game to Princeton. But while we cannot refrain from a feeling akin to relief that all uncertainty is now removed, we yet can congratulate ourselves upon the fact that Harvard will be indebted for the championship to no other college, for the Harvard nine of 1885 is going to surpass the records of all the colleges in the league by winning every...
There is undoubtedly something repugnant in a blue book, the mere sight of one is apt to excite our animosities; they have an effect upon us something akin to that produced by a Yale-Harvard foot ball match-they dampen our ardor. However, like many another thing here at Harvard, they are a necessity, and we have no choice but to support the book stores at this period of the year by a liberal patronage in blue books.

...course. This is the spirit of President Porter's reply, and it is an effort well calculated to provoke serious reflection and, perhaps, conviction. English is declared unequal "academically" with Latin and Greek. A thorough knowledge of the classics is declared necessary, while History and Political Economy and subjects akin to them are reserved for later reading. Modern languages and Science are given the preparatory schools as their proper sphere. Whether the conservative ideas of President Porter have been formulated into the recent unquestionably radical reforms at Yale, or whether the changes were simply to aid the "outside individual efforts...
...some colleges already associations among the students have sprung up akin in their aims to the Harvard clubs of the great cities. Students from any particular locality have banded themselves together for the purposes of social amusement, of encouraging and aiding in increasing attendance at their own college from the locality they represent, and of advancing their mutual interests while in college. There are many reasons why a plan like this or some modification of it might well be adopted at Harvard. A club formed among the students of San Francisco, from New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, or from...
