...fourth game of the series was played on Jarvis Field yesterday afternoon, between the senior and junior elevens, resulting in a victory for '86. The game was not begun very promptly, the '87 men being late. When they did put in an appearance it was seen that the team was crippled by the loss of Willard and Russell, both of whom were unable to play on account of sprains received in the game of Monday last. The vacant places back of the rush line were filled by Wiestling and Meeks, while Burgess was seen filling the gap in the rush...
...change, and Brown only needs to have her sister colleges lead the way ere she too leaves the present league to join the new. Supposing that Harvard, Yale and Princeton always will have the first three places in the league, we cannot see why the smaller colleges should esteem fourth place in the present league at all less dignified than first place in the proposed smaller eague. To be first in an inferior league, because it seems difficult to be first in the larger league, is a motive that results from a thoroughly false idea of what...
...that the blast was exploded Oct. 10 at 11.13 o'clock, and a few seconds over. Prof. Rogers first observed disturbances in the mercury surface at 11.17.30, and from that time disturbance waves came at nearly regular intervals of about 18 seconds, until the maximum was reached on the fourth or fifth wave. Then the impulses declined in force and died away about as they had come. In addition to the screen Prof. Rogers made use of direct observation of the mercury surface through a microscope, thus giving him the added advantage of judging the wave's length, etc. which...
...that in the old league there has been no contest between the six colleges composing it. It has almost always been a foregone conclusion that Harvard, Yale, and Princeton would hold the three first places; and so they have used the other teams merely as a means for practice. Fourth place in the league has practically been first place for Amherst, Dartmouth and Brown. Further, it is a common - whether just or not - complaint, that, in case of a close game between a large and small college, the umpire, holding his position by virtue of the support of the large...
...young Viennese, of not much experience in orchestral writing, is a truly musicianly and interesting composition. Although not sketched in the broad proportions we find in Beethoven and Schumann, it has the true symphonic character. Of the four movements, the first and third are the best, the fourth at times coming dangerously near, though not actually reaching, the trivial. The orchestration is good throughout, a certain preference being given to the wood over the brass. On the whole the symphony may be considered a valuable addition to the repertoire of the orchestra, while it formed the chief attraction...
