...practice game of base-ball, Wednesday afternoon, between the University and Freshmen, resulted in favor of the former by a score...
ANOTHER case of hazing, this time at the Michigan University, has resulted in the suspension of thirty-nine Freshmen and forty-two Sophomores, these students having proclaimed themselves in favor of "the time-honored college custom of hazing," and having requested to share the penalty of six men detected in the practice.

Either the nature of values has been too little taught hitherto, or very incompetent men have been sent to Congress. If the legislators who favor inflation merely advocate the views of their constituents, it is earnestly to be desired that some philanthropic, or at least patriotic, men will emigrate South and West with their pockets filled with political-economy tracts...
