...most encouraging aspects of the system of instruction now employed in the university is the indisputable fact that the students are led to do very much more reading than was customary in former years. The figures which we published some days ago about the increased circulation of the month of November are in themselves the best indicators of this change. It would be uncharitable and unreasonable to suppose that the books are taken out and returned unread. We may therefore assert that nearly 2000 more volumes were read in the month of November of this year than in any other...
...number is delicate, but not well rounded. Of the prose contributions, the charming little sketch, "Where the Muse Abideth," is perhaps the best, it is followed by another sketch, "An Unpleasant Reminiscence," which is decidedly disappointing. As to the two stories, "Right or Wrong?" and "Violin," the former is a peculiar but not unlikely tale well brought out, the latter is a vivid piece of writing rather packing in moral tone.

A proctor's visit would mean more if it came less often. These, as well as my former remarks, which I noticed were unsigned, come from...
...Ames who is only downed at Harvard's 15-yard line. Princeton loses the ball to Burgess after being forced back ten yards, and Porter sends it well up the field, where it goes down at Princeton's 35-yard line. Here, Fletcher and Butler collide and the former bruises his eye; Dudley takes his place. Princeton loses the ball, and Sears, by a magnificent punt sends it to Princeton's 25-yard line, where Remington tackles Savage before he can return it. This advantage is of but momentary duration, for runs by Ames, Price and Cowan bring the ball...
