...these great poets, Goethe and Schiller go hand in hand. Schiller was born on November 10, 1759, ten years after his contemporary. He was a sickly child but showed great ability in speaking, often addressing his little sister from a chair. He was forced into a military school to learn a profession, but feigning sickness was taken to the hospital where he succeeded in obtaining pen and paper and composed his "Robbers" a play laid in the fields and woods of Germany. At this time his condition was most wretched but with the assistance of friends he was enabled...
...first article Mr. Ammerman is offered his "tuition and board and a cash bonus besides;" in the second a scholarship and pecuniary compensation." On inquiry I learn that there are eight scholarships at the Harvard Law school. A condition attached to each and all of them is that the candidate must pass an examination at the end of his first year at the school.

Perhaps the chief interest of the foot-ball season centres in today's game with Princeton. From all we can learn the Princeton team is very strong, stronger, in fact, than Yale; but this simply means that our eleven will work the harder. We must win-not at any cost, as seems to be the motto of a certain college-but by every effort within our power as honorable men. There is no need for us to urge our eleven to do their utmost; their energy and faithfulness thus far are sufficient evidence of their conscientious work today...
