...site of the temple. It was only a few weeks ago that there became a possibility that the necessary amount could be raised. The amount to be raised, $80,000, is being contributed by private subscriptions mostly from residents of New York city. There seems to be but little fear now lest enough money can be raised for the purpose, but it is not at all sure that the concession of the site can be obtained from the Greek government. French scholars are making every endeavor to obtain the concession of the site, and it will be a great triumph...
...Overseers so recently deplored. Personally the men who play upon these professional teams are, as a rule, respectable, honest men who simply take this means of earning their livelihood.

To be sure, there are the republicans who held the offices four years ago. They are just as experienced, but to put them in the places of democrats would be rotation, and that is to be avoided. It is useless for one party...
...Josiah Quincy, the Democratic candidate for representative in the second Massachusetts district, said that the Republicans might be allowed the pleasure of having the Harvard students march in their torchlight procession. As long as the boys' hearts were true there was little need for the Democrats to fear. Mr. Quincy's speech was in condemnation of unjust taxation. Mr. G. S. Howe, '89, as the representative of the undergraduates, made an exceptionally fine address. It was a difficult position for an undergraduate, but Mr. Howe's speech could well bear comparison with those those of the elder men. He received...
