...this remarkable fact. The irregularity of the average Harvard student is from a little less than three to five times as great as that of the average Yale student. The former is off duty, either from choice or compulsion, rather more than 16 per cent of his time; the latter from less than 3 and a third to a trifle more than 6 per cent." He gives strong testimony to the advantage he gained from the prescribed course, under which he studied. "Like him (Prof. Palmer) I was especially found of Greek and Philosophy; but I studied Calculus with more...
...agreement was made in 1881 by the two boat clubs with the people of New London, that the latter should flag the course and keep it clear on the day of the annual race. The utmost efforts of the authorities were unable to keep all strange craft off the course during the last race. In fact our boat was nearly swamped by a passing steam-yacht.

The crown is already ground and is being put through the process of polishing...

The Portland audience was undeniably a very cold one, but was warmed into enthusiasm by the rendering of the college songs and by the Meyerbeer march. The latter was played with excellent spirit and expression, and richly deserved the encore accorded it. The yodeling was a feature of the concert that won great applause. It was evidently a novelty; this fact being evinced by the manner of its reception and by the report of one of the papers...
