...report is most pleasing to all the friends of a really liberal education. When Greek and Latin were made elective, it was predicted that they would be neglected for the other studies, but such has not been the case. Greek has, indeed, lost somewhat, as it is less essential to the professional and business man; while the entrance Greek gives a good idea of the language and literature. Latin, however, has held its own, as it is indispensable in law and medicine, besides giving a mental training which the modern languages cannot supply. The proposal of the medical...
...very sure hitter. Osborne played behind the bat on his class nine and is probably the only man in college who can hold Dann's switt pitching. His strongest point, however, is at first base, which he is able to cover easily. He has played more or less in the field, but is not a very sure man outside of the diamond.

Dickerman is a fair fielder, but is not at home in any other place, while Poole and Root can fill any one of the positions outside the battery equally well.

...judgment, the journals of to-day are good or bad in so far as they more or less closely resemble the ideal journal I have tried to describe; and the 'tone of the modern press' can be improved by following the lines suggested above. These are the best answers I can make at this moment to your first and second questions...
