...always appears before us as a bugbear. The few games that have been played by the freshmen this year do not promise as much us we had hoped. There is undoubtedly excellent material in the nine, but they do not play well together. They ought to be under the control of some University player, who could give them points in the little things in which they are weak. The practice they are getting at present does little or no good. Why should they play with picked nines so inferior to themselves? The nines they play with, at present, give them...
...Walker's lecture this evening upon "American Manufactures and Agriculture" is upon a subject important to every one. Col. Walker has had the control of the census of 1880, which has been the most complete and comprehensive census ever taken of this country, and perhaps of any country in the world.

...private tutors, or "coaches," from whom forty years ago came nearly all the instruction at English universities, who are now much less active, because both university professors and college teachers have become far more efficient than they were then. In England, examinations have become the main thing and practically control the teaching, although the true view of them would rather be that they should exist as a test of teaching. The examinations, though very old, had become purely formal in the last century: their present importance is comparatively recent. In the Cambridge Triposes, students have heretofore (for a change...
