...strong and earnest appeal for the requisite amount of money to build a monument in New York to the memory of General Grant embodies the most important feature of the first article in the January number of the "Art Review".

"An Outline Sketch" is the title of a pleasant picture of the distinguished American painter, Paul Reubens Smith.

Nor is the success of the 'Cook Stroke' to be measured by victories alone. You have aroused throughout the university a general interest in oarsmanship, the goods results of which are seen in the constantly increasing number of students who resort to this mode of exercise." To which Capt. Cook replies: "It must be true, indeed, that the enforcement of correct principles of rowing has had much to do with bringing about...
