...congratulate the '89 board of the Advocate on its energy and good taste as shown in the improved appearance of the paper. The change from a black and white to a crimson and white cover, the absence of the dividing line between the columns, and the new arrangement both of prose and verse all go to make up a very attractive-looking paper. Old Mother Advocate stepping out of her ancient crinoline and poke bonnet, and arraying herself in the garments which modern fashion demands, presents a very pretty and graceful picture, and she need not blush at it either...
...Suburban Harriers will hold their first annual handicap cross country run on Feb. 22. The run will be open to all amateurs and the start will be from Fort George Atlantic Hotel, Tenth Avenue and 19lst street, New York, at 10.30 a. m. The run will cover about six miles. There will be six valuable prizes. To the first man in who belongs to an organized foot-ball team, a special prize-a medal-will be given. The entries will close February 17 with Mr. T.

Then, when a boy enters, he is free to choose from a large number of electives; and, if he desire, can cover the whole ground of English literature in his four years' course. The writer further complains that a boy who comes to Harvard "saturated" with knowledge of American authors is naturally surprised at failing in an examination because he happens to know nothing about Scott. This seems to us an argument...
...pressure of its material fetters, reached later on a painful degree of madness, of which the case of Archbishop Becket gives a most disgusting illustration. When the corpse of this prelate was stripped, the whole body down to the knees was found to be encased in hair cloth. This cover was so fastened together as to admit of being readily taken off for his daily scourgings, of which the portion inflicted on the day previous to his death was still apparent in the stripes on his skin. These marvelous proofs of austerity were increased by the sight of innumerable vermin...
