...looks now as if Harvard were, after all, going to get something out of the Fayerweather will case. At the court on Wednesday the three executors drew up a statement in which they relinquished all their claims as residuary legatees. As this claim amounted to somewhere between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000, their action is of considerable importance to those to whom the money will now go. The executors state that they give the property in trust to various colleges mentioned in Mr. Fayerweather's will. Harvard was not mentioned in the will, but in this apportionment...
...supposed that the executors had always intended to resign their claim to the property. As there is a state law forbidding a man with a family to bequeath more than half of his property to institutions, and as the will provided that $2,100,000 should be given to colleges, etc., Mr. Fayerweather probably entrusted the residuary legacy of some $1,500,000 to the executors with the secret understanding that they should in turn give it to the colleges...
...gymnasium instructors, an exhibition was given which attracted the greatest general interest, and made it evident that, with more entries, the tumbling would be one of the most enjoyable features of the meetings. While it is true that the regularly organized teams rightly claim the athletic energy of a majority of the men physically suited to engage in feats of strength and skill, still it is strange that gymnasiums of a membership one-fifth the size of ours should present in their exhibitions tumbling so far superior to that which we have in ours.

...about the change it is hard to say. Possibly it is the result of chance, but more probably some real reason is at the botton of the case. The men at college here who have watched the increasing number of men which Exeter has been sending to New Haven claim that at Yale greater efforts are continually made to give Exeter men a hearty welcome. The Exeter Club is about the most flourishing of the school clubs there. The men take a deep interest in its welfare, and they show it by the enthusiasm displayed at their annual dinner. Every...
