...present schools of political science are utterly inadequate to fill the place of the one proposed. Of the three, that at Columbia is probably the best. If we compare it with the Ecole Libre we not only find it less thorough in the subjects taught, but we also find that there are many important topics which it does not touch, for example, there is no instruction as to the duties of the consular service. Such instruction could best be given by one who had been in this service, and this person could most easily be found at Washington. There...

The students form regular clubs whose constitution, by-laws, and members all centre about the beer...
...better in her own state than Yale in hers; for in twelve years the attendance here from Massachusetts has increased twenty-seven per cent., while Yale's increase from Connecticut has been only nine per cent. These figures alone are very gratifying. But we are still more pleased to find that the number from other states at Harvard is ninety-six per cent. larger than it was in 1873; while at Yale it is only seven per cent. larger...
