...introduced. Poetry is more frequent, though not always of the best. The humorous column comes direct from the editors' pen, and is not so frequently clipped. Illustrations appear, more taste displayed, papers regular and with dispatch, showing that they are edited for a purpose, to express opinions and convey news, and not simply for the sake of having a paper. General college news is gathered and topics of universal educational interests discussed. We can read in this that those different colleges have stepped beyond the line of the old regime, helping to round a man out generally, give...
...Yale Glee Club, now on its Western trip, met with a sad accident on Saturday evening. While their special car was standing in the station in Charlestown, Indiana, waiting to convey them to Louisville, it was run into by the locomotive of the Cincinnati express train, The express was uninjured but the special car was destroyed. Otis Strong of Auburn, N. Y., had both legs crushed, and one of them at least will have to be amputated. W. W. Crehore of Cleveland, O., had one of his legs badly broken, and C. W. Cutler was severely cut about the head...

Yale records will hardly do as a standard of comparison, as Yale is notoriously backward in the way of field athletics. What we meant to imply was that as our prospects for the event are not particularly encouraging, it would be well for the association to train...
...linen are kept for use here, and, when the hospital is used, are never carried from the house, so that all danger from spread of the disease by this means is avoided. When a student is taken sick with contagious disease he is immediately taken to this hospital. To convey him there the college possesses a closed sedan chair, which is taken directly into the student's room and then carried quickly across the field and into the ward of the hospital. The ill person is then at liberty to send for his own physician and nurses - there being...
