Base-ball is also being watched, and at present there are fourteen candidates for positions on the team. King, '89, will captain the nine and pitch, but the make-up of rest of the team is very uncertain. Ames, '90, however, is almost sure to play second base and change pitcher. The following is the list of other candidates: Brownlee, '89, Brokaw, '92, Brown, '92, Dana, '91, Lilly, '92, Mowry, '91, Watts, '91, Hanson, '92, Durell, '89, Payne, '91, Knickerbocker, '91, McMillan...
...lecturer said that in this and the following lectures he should take Pausanias as his guide. Pausanias is very unsatisfactory, but in his Piriegesis he has left us almost the only ancient description of the Acropolis we have, and it is merely fragmentary.

Twenty-five years ago she was almost the toy of her neighbors. Now,' however, owing to her powerful army and navy and to a liberal policy, she can be fairly called the leading state in Europe. Another important factor in this resuscitation was the growth of national feeling. The Germans of all ranks and conditions-prince and burgher, wealthy and poor-all began to be filled...
...allowed to published a detailed report of Mr. Walcott's liberal, candid, and straightforward explanation of the reasons of the Board of Overseers in making the recent recommendations. The students owe him a debt of gratitude for the way in which he made plain that in almost every respect the votes of the Overseers are not hostile to the broadest, highest, and most progressive aim of Harvard, but that they will serve to establish on a firmer basis the present policy of college government...
