...Pennsylvania over Oxford. Quite a triumph indeed, for a small and relatively unheard of institution to defeat the wellknown Britishers, and in itself a fact worth passing notice. But in addition it involves facts of far greater import. The afore-mentioned audience happened to be composed to the extent of ninety-five percent, of colored listeners, the debaters of Linclon University were themselves colored, and the debate was held in the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. This is indeed something for those who advocate the drawing of the color line to meditate upon. It could not have been for lack...
...recurrent miracle plays the text has formed but a very small element of the orchestration. In this play the text is less interesting than in some that have preceded.

Committees had also been...
...Alleghanies. In the first year after the operation of the new plan 31 per cent came from the Atlantic States and 21 per cent from west of the Alleghanies. The new plan examinations have since been found to have other advantages and have superceded everywhere to large extent the old style admission requirements. Recently President Lowell further extended the principle of broadening geographically the character of the undergraduate body by the institution of the first seventh rule, by which the first seventh of a graduating class in specified grade A schools may be admitted without examination. The whole movement...
