...Gaudeum certaminis"--the joy of the struggle--were the words with which one of the friends of Stevenson used to sum up the spirit of the author's career. Throughout his life, Stevenson had constantly to fight--against sickness and the very near approach of death, but he was always ardent, joyous and invincibly courageous. Stevenson's artistic and literary ideas may not have been original, and may even be, as Mr. Chapman believes, too fragile and ephemeral to endure; but Stevenson's character was unique, and the remembrance and the influence of it will be enduring.

...point nearest to the earth, and these are the only photographs of the kind, in which "Eros" is shown in its nearest position. At present it is about twice this distance from the earth and will continue to recede for about ten years when it will again approach the earth, and regain its former position after an interval of thirty-five years...
First of all, it seems a great pity that the western trip of the musical clubs had to be abandoned.

In the second inning Coolidge's error and Burke's stolen base gave Princeton a man on second with only one out, but Green struck out and Hutchinson was retired at first. Princeton did not reach second again until the ninth inning, when Stillman hit Steinwender and gave Meier a base on balls. There were two outs, however, and when Wendell caught Hillebrand...
