He pushed against the door at the head of the stairs, and found that it refused to open. He felt for the knob, and attempted to turn it, but it merely slipped around without catching the latch.

They recommend the erection of a new gymnasium, and even go so far as to suggest the purchase of marsh lands on Charles River, to be drained and diked in the interests of out-door sports. It is also proposed that the College, by the erection of boat-houses, encourage this branch of athletic exercise among the many. Before closing this review, I cannot refrain from noticing the high and elevating view taken of education in general throughout the report, and particularly enunciated under the head...
