...complaints of our Yale contemporaries of the ruthless way in which colleges in general and Harvard and Yale in particular are treated by the press generally. Still we are forced to believe that our New Haven fellows suffer in this respect more than we do. this is no doubt owing in great degree to the fact that Harvard is near Boston, whose papers are influential and on the whole give very fair accounts of doings here, while Yale is represented at home by very provincial publications, and New York is just far enough away to allow the news to become...
...Then we are received a letter from the founder of a "School of Industrial Art for Women," asking for the help of our late contemporary "so far as to publish the whole or any part of the enclosed article, that all women among your contributors, needing help. (and I doubt not there are many) may know of this opportunity and avail themselves of it."

Professor Sophocles stood by collegiate seniority, third in the list of the Faculty of Harvard college, being between Professor Loveting and Professor Torry. Some printed authorities place the date of his birth 1807, one going so far as to say the 8th of March, but there is reason to doubt the accuracy of this, although it is undoubtedly nearly correct.

They take possession of Davidson College station as the trains stop, go through the cars singing ribald songs regardless of the presence of ladies, and parade the country round about so that women are afraid to be found abroad. This hostility seems to be especially directed against preachers, whom they compel...
There has always been considerable doubt as to whether a success could be made of the Dining Association at Memorial, and for a time these doubts seemed to be almost justified. But at length it seems to have overcome its difficulties to a great degree and to have become firmly established. This of course is most gratifying, for, in the event of its failure, the need of such an association at Harvard would have been greatly felt. The announcement of the small sum to be charged for board at Memorial per week is an evidence of this gratifying change which...
