...unfortunate accident to Gallivan's ankle in the game on Saturday, will, if it seriously disables him, prove a great misfortune to the nine. We hope that after a few days rest he may be able to play again. But if he is prevented from playing in the Yale game we strongly urge the nine not to let this misfortune, occuring at so critical a time, discourage them. Luck seems against us; if we can win in the face of ill-fortune, the credit of victory will be the greater...
...last time on Tuesday morning. He will close on that occasion his long term of service which began eight years ago in October, when, as one of the clerical members of the Board of Overseers, he took charge of the chapel service for the month. Everybody remembers the great reluctance with which the resignation of Dr. Hale was accepted even after he had declared that it would be impossible for him to devote to the University in the future the time necessary to fulfill the duties which his position as one of the preachers to the University would impose upon...

If the boys think as their fathers do, the fathers are more...

Louis Agassiz asserted that the formations of Florida could not be explained by the "subsidence theory" of Darwin, but no other explanation could be given at that time. Professor Agassiz has arrived at a rational and satisfactory explanation of its distinctive peculiarities. Great stress is laid upon the various changes of the ocean currents, and on the importance of the transportion of pelagic food by currents in controlling the growth and distribution of corals. There is also a careful discussion of the characteristic deep-sea animals-fishes, jelly-fish, corals, etc. A complete...
...interesting as well as acceptable addition to the pages of criticism which have been written upon the greatest of all English writers. The style of the article is halting and uneven. The writer of the contribution on "Fifty Lyrics from the Elizabethan Dramatists" has attempted to cover a great deal of ground, and as far as he has gone, has succeeded fairly well. The work is appreciative and careful and the style consistent and smooth. The short contribution "Henry the Second" written in oratorical style contains little that is original or of a high order of merit. It is inferior...
