...candidates for the 'Varsity nine were out practicing on Holmes field yesterday afternoon. The grounds were in very poor condition and made ground work almost impossible. Three nets were up, and Captain Willard kept the men busy with batting and fielding. Shroll '89, Downer '89, Grant '92, Viles '92 and Churchhill '92, pitched alternately, and although they pitched straight balls only, the batting was rather weak. The majority of the candidates have already played either on the 'Varsity or on the various class nines. Willard (captain), L. S. Henshaw '89, Linn '90, and Mumford '90, have played on the 'Varsity...
...that the knowledge is valuable only in proportion to the light it throws on the science of living, and that Anthropology bases its claims to recognition on the great profit man would derive from an intelligent study of its laws. It is sometimes claimed that Anthropology covers too much ground, that a complete knowledge of man would include all that is known in every debarment of scientific research. But could not the same be said with equal force of History and Philosophy? do not they, in their broadest sense, also include all knowledge...
...original Erechtheum was burnt by the Persians; but the new temple was erected on the ancient site. It is a later structure than the Parthenon. The ground plan of the temple was unique, differing from every other known example of a Greek temple. Instead of the usual oblong figure with a portico at each end, the Erechtheum had projecting porticoes on the north and south sides, and a portico at only one end, the eastern one. On the southern side is the Porch of the Maidens, one of the best known specimens of Greek architecture. The skill displayed here...
...last prose article, "Partisanship or Independence in Politics-a Choice," is contributed by Mr. H. H. Darling. It takes the opposite ground from Mr. M. Storey's "Politics as a duty and as Career," in advocating party organization rather than personal independence. The writer divides independent voters into five classes, and after showing that the first three are objectionable on moral grounds, claims that the experience of the last few years has proved the inexpediency of the others. While the influence of the last two classes appears to be underrated, the argument for the formation of political parties is strong...
...space which will be utilized in carrying out the plan is 500 by 150 feet in extent. It will be fitted with gymnastic apparatus suitable for robust exercise, but not for games or feats which would attract large and disorderly crowds. The ground has been already prepared, and as soon as the weather permits, the various body-building machines will be erected. Dr. D. A. Sargent, of the Hemen way Gymnasium, will supply the apparatus, and the commissioners have left the selection of it as well as the superintendence of its erection to him. The machines have been selected with...
