...life, - a day which makes him forget to think about the future, and leads him to look back upon the years that are gone. And who can look back without a pang? who can recall, without bitter regrets, the pleasant days and kind faces that he has known? Ah! fair Class-Day revellers, your mirth only saddens me, and I turn from your beautiful faces to those which revisit me out of the gray past...
...this time it is doubtless generally known that the Freshman race between Columbia and Harvard has been given up. The action of Columbia, although to be regretted, seems to have been unavoidable.

Dr. Sargent of New York, a thoroughly educated physician and a gymnast with few equals, has devoted himself to exercise instead of drugs in the practice of his profession, and is meeting with deserved success. Mr. Ferris of Boston is known to very many of the Harvard students and graduates as an admirable superintendent and gymnast as well as an excellent...
