...important question which has been a mooted one in scientific circles for many years, will, no doubt, be conclusively settled on the development of the plates used by the Harvard expedition. It is the question whether or not any planet exists nearer the sun than Mercury. The opinions on this subject are divided. Each side has many strong arguments, but it has generally been conceded that, if judgment may be made from the movements of the other planetary bodies, this slight defection at times from their proper course would indicate the influence of an intra-Mercurial planet...
...substitute pitcher last year and can be relied upon to do good work, although he is a trifle wild in his delivery. McBride will again cover first base, McClintock, second base, and Noyes, (captain), third base. McConkey plays a brilliant game at short stop, and he will without much doubt be retained in that position. Calhoun, '91, will play again in the field, together with G. McClintock, '90, and the change pitcher or catcher. During the winter the candidates, twenty in number, will train under the direction of Captain Noyes and ex-Captain Stagg. The work will consist of batting...
...bill will without doubt pass the Senate, as Senator Hoar and a few others have promised to take the matter in hand.

Nevertheless, the association hopes that the bill will pass; however, if such does not turn out to be the case...
...realizing the ideal of true Christianity. The chief trouble today is that there is an almost universal skepticism as to the possibility of perfect spirituality, of complete subjection to God's law. Earnest men may work an immense deal of good, but wonderful works are few because men doubt the power of Christ to regenerate the world from its very depths. The same slowness of growth in morality will last, the speaker said, until there comes a general acceptance of an idea of perfect righteousness; until men, seeking themselves, sensitive to every impurity, are willing to find the goal...
...crew; but the opinion seems prevalent at New Haven that they will be induced to begin rowing within a few weeks at any rate. If Caldwell, the famous stroke, who is now in the Yale Theological School, can be induced to take his old position, there is little doubt that Yale will send to New London a crew which will compare favorably with last year's crew, which was considered the best ever representing any college. The makeup of the crew will probably be: No. 1, to be filled; No. 2, Gill, '89; No. 3, Brewster, '91; No. 4, Hartwell...
