...least not nearly so much under its influence as gold and silver. The commercial world must be forced from the damaging fluctuations in prices. This can be done only by securing a perfect steadiness in the value of money. If international bi-metallism could be established some good might be wrought, but there is no hope of obtaining an alliance of the nations. A more hopeful scheme would be to keep prices on a level by swelling or contracting the amount of money in circulation according as prices tend to fall or rise. A composite standard of value should...
...Thames! We are sure that there are men in the University who have not subscribed a cent towards the expenses of the crew. Will not some feeling of pride, or of shame, stir these men and prompt them to give as much as they can afford for this good cause? There is a very large sum wanted, we grant.

The Executive Committee has said everything that needs...
...exercise in the gymnasium last Monday under Captain Davidson. So far only the old members of the team and the substitutes have presented themselves, but it is to be hoped that a number of new men will also try for positions.

Eighty-nine is exerting itself particularly, and the candidates practice every afternoon about four o'clock. Fourteen men are trying for positions-J. H. Sears, Stevenson and F. M. Brooks for anchor; Grew, Marquand, Deblois and Green for No. 1; Hunneman, Hunter, Raymond and Bartharlow for No. 2; Endicott, Anderson and Munroe for No. 3. Although these men are doing excellent work and will undoubtedly furnish a good team, it is not at all likely they will...
...England colleges will be held in Association Hall, Boston. The convention was held last year at Yale, and in 1885 at Harvard. A large number of students, including many prominent athletic and literary men, will be present. There will also be a number of distinguished alumni. There is a good deal of interest in the convention among Yale men, and the following have been chosen as Yale's delegates: Stagg, '88, Hudson, '88, Corbin, '89, De Camp, '90, McClintock, '91, Richards...
