...face with a pressing need of the Divinity School of money to prepare a proper receptacle for a very valuable library which has been presented it. We do not wish to appear blind to the interests of any one department of the university. We would be glad to hear that outside parties had taken the matter in hand and had furnished the necessary amount. But we feel that any change in the library which does not aim to alleviate its present comparative uselessness, is entirely uncalled for and slightly premature. If the necessary money is furnished, it could...
...this small showing of Southerners here is the impoverished state of the South since the war. Only a wealthy region sends men to college. But, in view of the present growth of the South toward prosperity this cause should soon be operating less and less. In fact, we hear that the number of Southerners at Princeton is already beginning to approach the old ante bellum figures. We therefore hope soon to see a similar increase at Harvard.

The running High Jump will probably be very closely contested for by Fogg, '85, Batchelder, L. S., Clark, '87, and Atknison Pindor, '86, will probably try to take away the cup from...
...school, but there was one thing I could not do-I could not make a declamation; I could not speak before the school. Many a piece did I commit to memory, and recite and rehearse over and over again; yet, when the day came, when the school collected to hear the declamations, when my name was called, and I saw all eyes turned to my seat. I could not raise myself before...
