Prof. John Williams White assisted by Profs. Packard and Seymore of Yale, is engaged in editing a college series of Greek authors. The object of the series is to furnish as rapidly as possible annotated editions of the Greek authors, based upon German editions of the best authority. As far as possible the notes will be as free translations of the German, but the editor will always reserve the right to make such additions and changes as he may see fit. The books of this series will be published in a very convenient form by Ginn, Heath...

The theft must have been the work of some one who it intimately acquainted with the interior arrangements of the Gymnasium and with the habits...
...that I am strictly correct when I say that we shall owe our fun to their hospitality. Now, this procession of theirs is a demonstration to help their candidate. It is intended to show the enthusiasm which Republicans feel for Mr. Blaine, and to win over doubtful voters, so far as they can be won by the effect of enthusiasm. The Seniors of Harvard have no right in such a procession, if they bear their intended transparency. No gentleman has the right to say or do anything to the detriment of the man whose salt he is eating. The Senior...
