...your article on Yale game you congratulate the College upon the success of "systematic cheering given by the students, and conducted by appointed leaders." For some years I have watched the growth of this method of encouraging a nine or team, and have wondered whether it would or not call out some comment from the students or alumni. I do not doubt it serves as a stimulus to the players, but to me it would seem to do so at the sacrifice of far more desirable results.

On that method, the Society will naturally make profits; and these profits are to be divided at the end of each year among all members. That...
...April number of the Harvard Monthly presents much that is interesting but is hardly equal to the preceding issue. Professor Bocher offers a transcription of some of Sainte-Beuve's marginal references. This is a new method of studying a great man, but it is none the less satisfactory. Many of us who have been puzzled as to the secret of the power of the great critic, to say, apparently at a moment's notice, things at once cutting, brilliant, and profound have now our questionings answered. M. Sainte-Beuve in continually thinking with pen in hand is able when...
