...Platypus" by Sidney Dickinson is the description of a peculiar animal found in Australia. It is interesting though perhaps a little technical, and is very well illustrated. "De Profundis" by Anne Reeve Aldrich is a clever and pretty piece of poetry. "The One I Know Best of All" is dull and full of detail. It is certainly not up to the former works of the author, Mrs. Burnett...
NINETY - SIX 7, BARRISTERS 7.The freshmen and the newly organized nine known as the Barristers, played a dull game yesterday on Nortons Field. After seven inning the score stood, Harward '96 seven, Barristers seven, and it was agreed to call the game.

Just as Darwin lost his love for poetry and music, so a man finds that his religious self weakens and dies unless it is ever and anon refreshed. Because...
...given to gather up the picturesqueness of the past of Scotland and hand down to us in his poems and his novels, the history of the heroic deeds of the North from the time of Robert Bruce and William Wallace. It has been said that Scott was a dull boy but nothing can be farther from the truth. He was early driven by lameness to seek occupation different from those of other boys, and he turned to literature. He was descended from a long line of true Scotch men and he loved Scotland and everything about it. His eyes...
