There are three dangers into which young students of archaeology are apt to fall and they consist in (1) a misconception of what constitutes thoroughness of research; (2) the detrimental predominance of the collector's frame of mind, and lastly the ill-judged and premarure introduction of allied studies into archaeology. People think it necessary to go back into the prehistoric development of Greek social life and art when they begin to teach archaeology. This would be more logical if the science were a more firmly established one. As it is, the true method of research seems...
Early in the season it was deemed advisable to frame a set of rules for hare and hound's runs. A committee from the H. A. A., together with several men prominent in the weekly hunts, adopted the rules published in the CRIMSON of October 26th. It will be noticed that there is nothing in these rules radically different from those previously understood, except that the hares are liable to forfeit their right to cups if they win by laying a scent unsatisfactorily to three-quarters of the hounds. Whether it is because of this rule or not, the hares...
...noon, and afternoon lectures with glowing pipe in mouth, say, when they hear that no tobacco could be used "unless permitted by the President with the consent of parents and guardians and on good reason first given by a physician"?

What bliss to see him enter "butter, cheese, fruit, vegetables, grain, oxen, cows, sheep," or even boots...
...lower story was sustained by forty-four pillars, on which rested a frame-work, from whence beams extended toward the centre, and thus formed a foundation for the scaffolding of the story above, and so on in succession to the top. The pillars were wreathed with evergreens and flowers, and pendants or streamers, of blue and white, radiated from the centre to the sides of the tent. The pavilion was erected on sloping ground, and the tables rose one above another in the form of an amphitheatre. On the lowest sides of the area, tables were placed on an elevated...
...desks we have in University, and these represent the highest point our faculty has got in the evolution from the primitive seats of our "arboreal ancestors." They are, for the most part, cheap wooden chairs, constructed with an entire disregard of the curves and angles of the human frame, and placed behind a sort of toad-stool formed of an iron upright and a small square of black walnut. This toad-stool desk gives no opportunity for comfort in writing, as it is not large enough to support the elbow and note-book at the same time, and an ordinarily...
