...branch, that of geology, the right step has been taken. A description of all courses given has been published, in which the desired information is to be found. In the first place, the importance of the study of geology is set forth in a clear and forcible manner, but none too much so. The intimate relation of geology to all the other sciences and the almost absolute necessity of grasping it first in order to comprehend them; its connection with the development of life, both organic and inorganic; and, above all, its practical utility, make it one of the most...
...Corsair makes his first appearance in American poetry. "Hannah Bantry in the pantry," who employed her solitude in gnawing a mutton-bone, is the prototype of the "Marchioness." Hannah, to be sure, seems, in this instance, to have solaced her loneliness in a more sordid manner than the curious creature in Dickens's novel, but if Mother Goose had given us further glimpses of her heroine's character, we should, no doubt, find her more winsome...

...without a failure to clear it; but at this height Mr. Sturgis failed, and the cup was given to Mr. Morison, who cleared it very gracefully at his second attempt. This is Mr. Morison's first appearance in the High-Jump, and his graceful and easy manner of jumping shows that he can go much higher with practice. The highest record here is 5 ft. 3 in., made by Mr. A. C. Denniston, '83, on Nov. 1, 1879. Owing to an unfortunate mistake, Mr. Denniston's entry failed to reach the Association in time for him to compete on Saturday...
