...Eton and Cambridge (class of '83), so that his sympathies with college students are naturally very strong. As captain of the Cambridge University Cricket Eleven, he won great distinction in athletics. "A typical English athlete," he has been called, "a clearheaded, full-blooded, hearty young Englishman." Still his fame as an athlete, while it may excite interest, does not, of course, testify to ability as a speaker. If, however, we may judge from the cordial receptions which men of other colleges have given Mr. Studd, when he has addressed them, we are justified in saying that his discourse will...
...perhaps, which offers such sure compensation for honest work as this. The means of livelihood which are more ordinarily denominated "professions," are, say what we may about "room at the top," over-crowded. We cannot all be Websters; nor is there a chance that every doctor will rival the fame of a Marian Simms. Many a good mechanic is spoiled in a poor minister. These facts ought to be taken into consideration when a choice so momentous as that of a profession is to be made. The lecture this evening will aid this consideration. We trust that an enthusiastic audience...
...Veterinary Medicine, Session 1887-87. - We esteem it a privilege and a pleasure to call the attention of all interested in the welfare and advancement of veterinary science to the announcement of the Harvard University School of Veterinary Medicine, Session 1886-87.

...short time ago we had the pleasure of re-printing a very flattering criticism on a book of one of our Greek professors. To-day we publish in another column a similar review of Professor Laughlin's Bimetallism. It is to us extremely gratifying to have the fame of Harvard and Harvard instructors go abroad in this way. Such an evidence that we have been doing, and can do such good work in the department of Political Economy cannot fail to draw students here. The subject has of late been demanding much attention every-where. Accordingly, the lead which Harvard...
...course she deserves it, as long as she is the only institution that offers such advantages to writers. It is, however, to be regretted that other institutions do not move in the same path. And we wonder that Harvard does not seek after some of this "national fame" which has so deservedly come to Johns Hopkins. If Harvard undertook to publish the meritorious works of her graduates, there can be no doubt that those Harvard men, who have hitherto gone to Johns Hopkins with their writings, would gladly turn to their alma mater. We can hardly conceive of any move...
