...invention of such a Chinese puzzle. Many were disposed at first to regard the placing of two or three names in spaces by themselves as an "exalting of the few at the expense of the many," but later on their minds were relieved. Happy thought! Perhaps the man who had mind enough to originate that card may be able to explain the "curve system" of marking used in German VII. and the lowness of the marks in English...
...entrance-fee will be fifty cents, which will go toward partly paying for the prize. An entry-book will be opened at Bartlett's, which will close at 12 M., Monday. The contestants will be drawn in pairs, and the winners of the trials play on until one man remains unbeaten. The place of playing will be written in the entry-book.

Doubtless the same advantageous terms will be again offered by the railway company, so that the journey to Yale will be easy and inexpensive...
...either graduates or undergraduates. A university library ought to have books that a scholar will need, whatever line of study he may be pursuing. The works of Abu-1-Fazl and Mirza-Shafi, and the Arabic grammar of Muhammad bin Daud may not be of interest to the man of "general culture," - a phenomenon of which Harvard College, it is gratifying to know, is growing suspicious, - but they will certainly prove useful to the student of Turkish literature, and will be valuable to a scholar who intends travelling in the East...
