...back to a respectable showing in track athletics. The bottom was reached last year. This year one second, and a first, only won gloriously to be lost unaccountably, may prove a nest egg from which to hatch a cup some day. Princeton luck is inexplicable. We win and we lose, and no one knows why we win or why we lose. In college athletics fortune favors whom she favors, and that is all there...
Professors Young and McNeill and a party of friends of Princeton will go to Russia this summer to take observations on astronomical phenomena best observed there. Meanwhile Princeton does not lose her reputation for preminence in spectroscopy. The top of the observatory has been painted blue. Why, it is impossible to tell. The conical-roofed tower glared with blue light over the compass, unpleasantly and unwelcomedly...
...matter of rights, private and State companies are about the same. No administration could allow State railroads to lose money, when private ones are making it. So State roads resort to all sorts of tricks to get traffic. As a result in Belgium and Germany roads, competing lines are brought up.

...season, but have played some of the strongest professional nines. Now this is all the more reason why the nine should receive enthusiastic support. If the game with Columbia is won, members of the nine will work with life and interest for the rest of the season; but to lose the first game, would certainly be a result which Harvard, under the present condition of base-ball matters, must find disastrous. Let a large number of men, then, go to New York. Well supported by the college, the Harvard nine will not fail to do itself credit, even if victory...
