...said: In that period between the dynastic conquest and popular revolt in Germany, the lives of both Goethe and Schiller are principally laid, the one a patrician and of high rank, the other a plebian of poor parents. Goethe was born at Frankfort on the Main, August 28, 1749. His father was not very rich and had a meagre education which he gained mostly from travel; his mother was quite different, for she was a woman of broad intellect and a kind heart, and seemed to the young poet more like a companion than a mother. When only ten years...
...Within this tower which is 21 feet in diameter, rises a heavy masonry pier where an equatorial telescope of 12 inches aperture will be placed. The tower is covered by a revolving copper dome containing a wide slit which can be turned to any part of the heavens. The main building, situated at the east end of the tower, is 43x27, and 25 feet high. The roof is flat and is reached by a stair case which leads also to the tower. The building contains one large and two small rooms for a library and other uses, a photographic room...
During these ten years the additions to the college buildings and equipment have been most substantial. Franklin Lincoln, and Barnes halls, the gymnasium, half of the main building of Sibley college, and its shops and laboratories, besides some lesser buildings have been erected, while a magnificent library and a commodious chemical laboratory are now in construction.

It is for this reason that Cornell has been able...
...main feature of the evening was of course the speaking, and this, though mainly laudatory, will no doubt have a salutary effect upon our athletics. From this point of view the speech of Mr. Winslow, '85, was of peculiar interest. The suggestions which he made were timely. In the past there has been too little unity of action in athletics, between faculty, graduates, and students. It is this unity which we most need and which we must cultivate. Harvard athletics will need every honest effort which can be put forth in their behalf. It is our sincere hope that...
...Time 30 minutes. From the middle of the field Poe ran behind Princeton's wedge, making twenty yards. Both sides played largely a kicking game at this point, but Princeton forced the play to Harvard's end of the field. Harvard's backs were fumbling occasionally, although in the main the work of B. Trafford, Lee and Saxe was wonderfully strong. With the ball on Harvard's five yard line Black found a hole in the centre and scored. Time 40 minues. Score, Princeton 10; Harvard 9. From the middle on the field Lee made a fine rush of twenty...
