EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : The founder of Cornell University, in his introductory speech at the inauguration of the university, and President White, in his inaugural address, took strong ground in favor of the co-education of the sexes. This was entirely in the spirit of the liberal views which those gentlemen held in regard to education in general, which guided them in the early history of the university, which have placed Cornell in the front rank of American colleges and which are still held by the guardians of her welfare.

...method, or lack of method, of disposing of the courts. This is the position in which the matter now stands.

The danger of carrying the reaction to an extreme was of course the one most...
...heavy batting. On the whole the prospects for a close and exciting contest for the champion ship are excellent. The nines appear to be more evenly matched than ever before From the reports that have reached us up to the present time, it would seem that chances favor Princeton and Brown. Amherst does not expect to win the championship but hopes to make a good showing. Yale's chances would seem to be poorer than last year, though it is of course too early to tell with any degree of certainty. The feeling at all the colleges seems...
