Colorado College, located at Colorado Springs, Col., has had seventy students in attendance during 1877. One half of them studied the Classics. Three professors and one tutor are giving instruction.

Professor Kerr, the professor of geology, has recently discovered in the Garden of the Gods, within sight of the college grounds, some...

The game, under the circumstances, naturally failed to be a remarkably brilliant one. The playing of the Yale men, however, had improved noticeably since the match at New Haven. Their determination to win, too, was very apparent, making the game...
