...snapper-back midway between them. This plan would prevent the players from remaining in contact while lining-out, would enable the ball to be passed more scientifically, and allow greater freedom in kicking. Where the ball is carried back to any five-yard line compensation is made for loss of ground to the side so carrying it back, by greater freedom in passing. This method would evidently increase the opportunities for scientific kicking, running and passing, and on the other hand would greatly diminish the chances for blocking and the display of weight and brute strength. Again, the present manner...
...President Eliot. A temporary endowment of $5000 a year expires now and the work of the observatory will be seriously crippled in future unless a large increase is made in the permanent endowment or unlocked for contributions and bequests are regularly made for running expenses. How much this loss of the temporary endowment is, can be realized when it is stated that as a result five of the assistant now employed will have to be dismissed. Among the recent gifts were $5000 from the late Thomas G. Appleton of Boston, and L25 from a learned Englishman of Sunderland...

...record of Harvard since 1876. Mr. Bancroft is a graduate of the college, has occupied and does now occupy important positions in public life. The undergraduates are enthusiastically in favor of him as a coach, as is every man who has to do with boating in the college. A loss of his services at this time will work irreparable damage to boating. Every interest of that branch of Athletics at Harvard demands that the captain of the crew be allowed to find his own coach, and that the Faculty Committee busy themselves with their more immediate business...
...total number of students, after deducting for names inserted twice, is 1086, whereas there was a total of 1092 last year, a net loss of 6. The 1092 of 1883-84 was a loss of 4 compared with 1882-83. The most noticeable loss is in the number of undergraduates in the academical department, which is offset by the rapod growth and increase in the Sheffield Scientific School. This latter branch threaten to rival, if not to supersede, the classical college, and in the dim hereafter we may learn to speak of Yale as a scientific school with a classical...
