...next to the groves of the Asomaton. To the north rises the steep rock of Lycabettus, cutting off the winter winds; on the east, south and west stretches the unrivalled panoramafrom Pentelicus and Hymettus to Salamis. 'The view,' wrote the American Minister, 'is one of une of unequalled loveliness, even in this land of beauty.' Happily, the open ground on all sides promises to leave it to us forever. Moreover, the site is not only high, but dry, and, being what is practically virgin soil, is free from any suspicion of the malaria that infects the older and lower parts...

...power to make a winning team out of the material that he has, but he is hampered by the regulations against professionals, which the faculty persist in enforcing. If our team of this year could be allowed to practice with professional teams we would at least stand on an even footing with Yale, but without this practice, which the Yale team has, we are handicapped from the start. The freshman class has done almost nothing so far in regard to its base-ball team. Captain Bates has had very hard work to get even a dozen men to train. This...
