Judged from the standard of previous numbers, the Advocate which appears today is decidedly good. The articles which are least interesting are chiefly to be condemned for an entire lack of originality; but this fault is perhaps more excusable than many others which are generally forced on the notice of the reader. The only serious mistake can unfortunately be laid to the charge of no one in particular; but the unknown author of "A Poet" is sadly in error when, in his vain struggle to write verse, he says, "My words my servants are." To make this...
...Bridge fitted for college at the Boston Latin School, but lack of funds prevented him from entering. He established himself as a commission merchant in Boston, and in 1841 was appointed Principal Appraiser of the port of Boston. This position he hied until 1853, when he was appointed Appraiser General at San Francisco, where he was head of the whole Pacific coast department. In 1871 he retired from public life. He was all his life a generous and active philanthrophist. To his native town of Dresden, Me., he gave over $12,000 for the promotion of its religious, educational...
...great trouble with the 'varsity, which the presence of Captain Waters undoubtedly would in some degree have obviated, was the lack of snap.

...there was not such a variety of events on this same day. Besides the class game on Norton's Field, the freshman game with Exeter will be in progress on Jarvis. Here will be three very attractive events going on simultaneously. The result will be, of necessity, a lack of interest in some one or two of the three; this means that the events will be defeating their own end and will be producing a lack of harmony which is very undesirable. We can appreciate the desire to have the tie game settled, but it seems to us that another...
...much more zeal and earnestness in the work of the individual players. We can repeat here what we said some time ago, that no man in the University who wants to see Harvard win at Springfield can, with any show of manliness, contribute to any spirit of despondency or lack of confidence which may get a hold here in these remaining weeks. No game is lost till it is played; but a game may be partially won before it is played. We are confident that today a representative crowd will start the team on its way in a very cheerful...
