...this a good plan? It certainly seems to be, yet it has its advantages and disadvantages. The science of medicine has become so far advanced that three years is not long enough time to devote to the study of it. Three years are not sufficient to make a man thoroughly acquainted with all that a skillful physician should know. Well-educated, scientific physicians are needed, and such men Harvard should send out, but three years is too short a time to accomplish this in. Yet most of those who have spent four years in a college think that they have...
...well to say here that every freshman who has played ball to any extent, should take the first opportunity of going to the field and practicing with the rest of the candidates. Rumor says that there are several very good players in the incoming class, but how far this report may be trusted will be better known when some of them will take the trouble to put in an appearance.

Andover is a preparatory school that takes more interest in athletes than...
...time is set for the completion of the work on the building, and it will probably be fully six months before it will be ready for occupancy. When it is completed, the structure will have cost about $30,000, making it by far the most expensive society hall connected with the university. It will differ from all the others in that it provides a home for its members. The other society buildings simply furnish a place where weekly meetings may be held, and with the exception of the "Wolf's Head," which is a comfortable loafing spot, the majority...
