...number in the university is 1662, an increase of 76 over the total for 1884-85. These figures show that the class of '86 has lost 2; '87, 20, and '88, 23. '89 excels last years freshman class by only 3. The number of special students is 110, a gain of 40 over 1884-85. Last year's total for the college, 1006 is increased by 62. There are are similar gains in most of the other departments. The Law School, however, has lost 1, and Bussey Institution, 2; losses which Harvard may well grieve over...
What causes work to bring about this result, and how can they be obviated?

"Hazing, window smashing, disturbing a lecture room, are things of the past." Desire for honors and ambition to gain good standing, have been quickened. The middleman in the freshman class in 1874-5, received an average mark of 59; the middle man of '84 gained...
...virtue of the support of the large college, always gives all close decisions to the large college. Dartmouth lost two games last year in which she out-played her opponents (large colleges) in all points. obviously there would be very little satisfaction in the contest, even could we gain admission to the league on terms of equality, which, by the way, is out of the question. And so the plan has been broached that a new base-ball league be formed, to include Dartmouth, Amherst, Brown and Williams. We know already that there is a strong sentiment in favor...
