...aware of the fact that your college is in America and within a few miles of Lexington and Concord? Is it not a strange teaching that you give, by implication at least, when you exclude from your lis's every American writer's works? What inference must a student draw who comes to you saturated with Emerson, lovingly familiar with Bryant, Longfellow, Holmes and Lowell, knowing Irving and Hawthorne by heart, ready to write essays by the score on Cooper, Sylvester Judd and Brockden Brown, or to discuss the works of Paulding, Poe, Prescott, Motley, Park man, and the rest...
...period, out of the thirty-one contests between Yale and Harvard in base-ball, foot-ball, rowing and track athletics, Yale has won twenty-one times, Harvard ten. While these facts may show nothing more than a coincidence, it seems to us to be a more reasonable conclusion to draw from these facts that Yale's victories have been one of the things, at least, that have caused the greatly increased attendance at that college...

Contrary to the general belief, sponges breathe by means of their outer layer. The inner layer consists of small cells armed with whips which create a current to draw in the small water animals which form its food. Between these two is another layer, which secretes the chalky, or horny, spicules which form the skeleton. All sponges are modifications of this simple form. Among the many specimens shown, one form deserves special mention, as it destroys many thousands...
