...paper on the "Principle in Lumley vs. Gye and its Application." The article is a critical examination in its several aspects of the point decided in this noted English case, namely that the mere existence of a contract imposes upon all who know of its existence, a duty to forbear form, doing any act maliciously, for the purpose of procuring a breach of the contract. The final article is by Mr. Williston of the Law School and is upon the "Right to follow Trust Property when confused with other Property." The paper is an investigation of the doctrine that...

It is a well known fact that our base-ball nine made a failure of its last season, although it started out with the brightest prospects, simply from the lack of professional training. Although other colleges had the advantage of a professional player in training their pitchers and their batsmen, we were compelled to play through...
