...annual report of the Astronomical Observatory by Professor E. C. Pickering will be issued today. The report shows, that, although the income from the Observatory fund in the last twenty-five years has increased from less than $20,000 to $50,000, and the number of assistants from six to forty, thus placing the Observatory in these respects among the largest in the world, further endowments are greatly needed for the erection of permanent buildings. Two gifts of considerable amounts, both anonymous, have been received during the year: one of $20,000, quite free from conditions, the other...
...issued Wednesday wish to say that the two names which were appended thereto, and which have been questioned, were used on the assumption that the general verbal assent of these men, which was given to the candidacy advocated, justified the use of their names in that connection; and that, although assuming thus perfectly sincerely, they acknowledge this to have been unwarranted.

Lincoln '05, is an account of club politics in a Southern college. The narrative is well told, although the scenes depicted seem slightly unnatural. "Pardners," by L. W., although only a short sketch, is the best written article in the magazine. It is clearly told and full of local color, "Rattles Romance," by "Burre," and "Number-Stoughton," by E. R. Little '04, would be more interesting if they...
...University hockey squad held its second practice on the rink on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon. In spite of the poor condition of the ice the play was fast.
