There is a general revival in athletics this year in the Michigan University. The board of directors are preparing for the early organization of base-ball and foot-ball teams, and intend to have one of the old time field days in May. They will dispense with the subscription method so far as possible and raise money by lectures and concerts...
...fixed on what are generally supposed to be the minor parts of an opera, but are so no longer. No; a revolution has taken place, and hereafter, thanks to the tender watchfulness of Harvard, the "supe" will be the great attraction. The examples of the success of the new method are numerous. Who has not observed the breathless interest with which the entrance of any procession on the stage is now greeted?

The evident fairness of the settlement of the question about the method of starting cannot fail to commend it to every one. To start with the sterns of the shells even and to judge by the bows at the finish, would simply make our course about five feet shorter than Harvard's - we do not wonder that they objected. - [Record...
