...since a quartette has never yet been a part of its organization. With regard to the duties of the Glee Club to the college, and those of the college toward the Glee Club, I must make a grave general charge against the college. Musically speaking it is at the lowest ebb of indifference. Not to speak of the neglect of the musical opportunities afforded by Boston, the number of students attending Mr. Henschel's concerts in Sanders itself was disproportionately small; while the concerts which Prof. Paine arranged, on his personal responsibility, in Sever, were a failure through the utter...
...another forfeited by Harvard, giving them to Yale with scores of 9 to 0. These contests were inangurated by the class of '69, and the earliest games resulted in favor of Yale by such scores as 36 to 33, 38 to 18, made by '69 and '70. The lowest score was made by Yale '83, 1 to 0. Since 1876, when Harvard '79 won two out of three games, thirteen games have gone to Yale, and only two to Harvard. The class championship has therefore been held continuously by Yale for the last six years...

The lowest grade corresponds to two, on the scale of five. A mark of three gives one cum laude; four, magna cum laude, and five, summa cum laude. The aim of this marking system is to make the nominal mark correspond to the actual work done. The six or eight in the class who attain the highest average ranks appear on the commencement stage, thus general ability is encouraged rather than proficiency...
...lowest forms, as in the sponge, to the highest, as in man, is found a fluid which is the condition of vitality," said Dr. Sargent in his lecture on "The Blood" yesterday; "this in man is called blood." The lecturer explained the diseases which arise from the presence of too much blood or a deficiency of the same, and what effect either of these conditions has upon a person mentally or physically. Thus, one who studies very hard is likely to find his feet or hands cold even in a warm room, because he uses his blood to such...
