...styles. Of the dailies, both the Yale News and Cornell Era have ornamental headings. The HERALD-CRIMSON, being in a transition state as to its name must await the time with patience before it can again appear with an artistic capping. The Advocate although neat in its appearance would look much more attractive in a cover of some delicate shade pleasing to the eye. It seems strange that with so many fine arts' students our fortnightly should be behind those of other colleges in this respect. Its appearance in a new cover would make an important addition to the newly...

Harvard should be and has been the principal seat of culture of this country, but how much longer will she remain so if she throws aside the study of the language and customs of the people who were "the great exponents of humanity...
...recent annual report, makes some statements concerning athletic sports, which we publish on another page, and which should be read and remembered by every student. He is the first man who has plainly and publicly pointed out what keen observers have long known, viz., that students and professors look at athletics from totally different standpoints; that these two views are wholly irreconcilable; that between them is a chasm which affords no tenable middle ground; that the students are unwisely stubborn in support of their own ideas; and that this obstinacy will, sooner or later; drive the strong arm of authority...
