...than ever before. The practical missionary work carried on by the Association in Boston, and the measures taken to give information and assistance to new students at the beginning of the year are of especial importance and value, to the members as well as to the objects of their interest, and are every year getting to be a more necessary part of the University life. The creation of the office of General Secretary is amply justified by the natural growth in the Association's sphere of work; with such an official to give the greater part of his attention...
Largely owing to a lack of subscriptions, the committee on the proposed University Club has not taken any definite steps during the past year. And it looks very much as though this state of affairs is, in part, at least the result of the small amount of active interest taken in the plan, especially among the undergraduates, for whom the club was designed.

Besides these, two and a half pages are occupied with an exposition on mountain climbing which might be of interest to the writer. The Kodaks and the poetry are about as good as usual, and, with a short but rather ambitious story describing the troubles of married life, complete the number...
