...interest which attracts attention, is the sum of the total invested property of the university, which is placed at $4,803.-938, 36, against $4,623, 895, 57 for the year proceeding. The income was $241, 825, 32, at the rate of the general investments by far the larger part of 5.17 per cent.

Our students do not, it is true, step forward with any too much readiness to support the college papers, but when once the true nature of the case is put before them, we do not have...
...crew. The Post correspondent maintains that in base-ball and foot-ball, all interest centers in the university nines and elevens, that the class nines and elevens exist only in name. Finally, that the restrictions on athletics, such as the prohibition against playing with professional nines, will enable a larger number of men to participate in these sports.
