Louis Calvert Leary, of the senior class of the Divinity School, died very suddenly at his room in Divinity Hall on Tuesday, April 3d. He was one of the most earnest and enthusiastic as well as one of the most faithful students at the school. He was a student four years at Williston Seminary, where he fitted for Amherst, entering in the class of 1885; subsequently he left Amherst to take the degree S. B. from Boston University in 1885. He was chosen by the students of the school to preach the Christmas sermon last December; he was a very...

Who is to judge-a few individuals or the college at large? The prize offered to stir the athlete is not pleasure-it is honor; it is the satisfaction of being a vital part...
...years ago. A small admission fee of seventy-five cents or one dollar should be charged for admission, with a certain amount extra for reserved seats. The sports could be made very attractive if the management of the H. A. A. would enter into the matter in earnest; and ladies should be admitted as at other winter meetings. This special meeting could easily be arranged for the 31st of March, the Saturday before vacation begins, and it might be the means of helping the University Crew considerably. It might not be a bad plan to ask the Technology...
