...North Greenland expedition in the year 1893-94. In 1897, he travelled to Spitzbergen to join Andree's balloon expedition, but arrived a few days late. A year later he went with the Wellmann expedition to Franz-Josef Land as second-in-command. He was the first leader selected to head the Ziegler polar expedition in 1901-02. Mr. Baldwin has written several books on the results of his explorations...
...dealing with the late Professor Norton and the resignation of President Eliot merit decided praise. They express in clear and judicious English the appreciation and gratitude that Harvard has for these two men--one the wise and brilliant guide to the beauty of the past, the other the national leader in the advance towards intellectual freedom. In the "normal" class also belongs Mr. Grandgent's story, "The 'Medomac'." This is a thoroughly healthy tale of ghosts that turn out to be pirates, and mysterious uncles that reappear in order to die melodramatic deaths. Two pieces of verse may also...
...ever recurring complaint that undergraduates are not given a chance to hear the foremost men in some of the departments of instruction in the University and thus are deprived of the great good obtainable from the inspiration of a recognized leader in his particular work has not arrived as yet, but we venture to say it is on the way and so will take time by the forelock and meet it before it comes and invert it.

And now, after having led the way these forty years, having overcome obstacles and prejudices that would have daunted the soul of one less hardy, having always pressed forward, the President...
This presents a problem for the coaches and the team which is hard to overestimate. To be deprived of a linesman of three years experience, whose kicking alone, measured in terms of ground gained, is invaluable, and in addition, a real leader and captain--it is hard to imagine a more serious blow. The two games in the coming fortnight will test Harvard's strength to the limit, and with Burr out of the line-up it will be doubly hard. It is hoped that he will be able to play the Yale game, at least for part...
