...looked forward to with a greater degree of interest than any other event in the college aquatic circles of this country. In fact it is looked upon as a connecting link between athletics, past and present, and with it are associated memories dearer than any other to the undergraduate heart. Any attempt to destroy or encroach upon this custom or to destroy its sacredness would be very likely to be treated in a very conservative manner. Thus it was when Columbia desired to enter the charmed circle, and thus the University of Pennsylvania finds it today. A challenge from...
...returned to the mother university, minus many valuable manuscripts, but generally intact. A new library, however, had been formed in the mean time, so that now the two together number about 300,000 volumes and some rare manuscripts. Among the few buildings, for the university is situated in the heart of the town and building space is limited, is an Academic Hospital, a Physiological and Zoological Museum, and a large chemical laboratory. There is also a gymnasium or school connected with the university in another part of the town. It is at this university that many of the socalled student...

The difference between the Faculty and the students on this question is not so much one of kind as of degree, and as the practical experience of the latter in athletics is apt to be greater than that of the former, we think their opinions ought to be considered before any final action...
...considered of great value, not only for its exactness, but for its rarity, the original proprietor of the work in England having destroyed the plates after 400 impressions were made, so that it is seldom met with in this country. The preparations in wax, in glass cases, of the heart, brain, eyes, are perfect exhibitions of those objects. In the midst of the tumultuous city, here all is stillness and solitude, where medical science, taking her pupils by the hand, leads them into her secret chambers, unfolding the intricacies of every department. An Apollo Belvedere and a Venus de Medici...
