...full courses nominally involve an equal amount of work, and a certain per cent. in one course is supposed to represent the same excellence as that indicated by the same per cent. in any other course.

But it is not realized; every course has its reputation as "stiff" or as "soft," and every instructor has his reputation as a strict or easy marker.

...other victories for our nine, and every advance in Harvard's prospects for the championship must be attended with increase of enthusiasm. The contest will be a close one.

The defence proved equal to the occasion and the ball was sent flying back towards Princeton's defence men. Neither side seemed to have any great advantage. Both sides made several pretty tries for goal, but wide of the flags. In this way the play was continued for forty-nine minutes...
...favorable report of the committee on the American School at Athens, a summary of which we give in another column, will be received with pleasure, not only by the friends of the classies but by everyone who wishes to see America occupying an equal position with European countries in archaeological pursuits and discoveries. "The object," we are told, "of the American School of Classical Studies is to furnish to graduates of American colleges without charge for tuition, an opportunity to study classical literature, art, and antiquities in Athens, under suitable guidance; to prosecute and to aid original research in these...
