...mentioned by the News. We were willing to play at Springfield or Providence, but not at Hartford, to reach which from Cambridge takes four times as long as from New Haven. It is obvious that the gate receipts at the base ball grounds in Providence would have been much larger than at Hartford. Yale had the choice of Cambridge, Springfield and Providence. We agreed to pay one half her expenses and divide gate money if she came to Cambridge. She chose the former, and as her choice was free we are not indebted...
...Gosse, Thomas Hughes, Christina Rossetti, Andrew Lang, and R. W. Gilder. The mere mention of these names is sufficient to show the interest of the number. Henry James' new sketch is certainly an international one, if its situation in London and its reference to almost every one of the larger American cities can make it such ; still it is, like all Mr. James' work, clever. Mrs. Van Rensselaer's article on "Recent Architecture in America," is very interesting ; the article has little but praise for the new Harvard Medical School, Sever Hall and the Law School.

The men educated in the mills and those who have only bought material as wanted, have survived the fall of those who went into the business in good times without special qualifications...
...engaged in literature is still a very large one. It has often been charged that the colleges are rapidly losing their influence in literature as the general standard of education is raised throughout the country. This is held to be the ease, particularly with the graduates of the larger colleges, such as Yale and Harvard. The fact that thirty per cent, of the men chosen by the reading public to represent American literature, received their education at Harvard disproves this statement as far as the graduates of that college are concerned. This result cannot fail to be satisfactory...
...limited number of men only. It is possible to engage in sport for but a limited part of the day. This makes it necessary to have the grounds much larger than if they could be used in rotation by the students. Should Harvard expect to find sufficient room to exercise her hundreds of undergraduates in on fields no larger than are owned by many colleges less than half her size? More grounds must be bought if Harvard is to maintain her general interest in athletics. Moreover, this land should be determined on and bought at once, as the price...
