...salient points of each period are treated. A knowledge of American history is requisite for the reader, but for the student, the materials brought together are invaluable. Mr. Windsor contributes some very able papers in the fifth volume which are remarkable for their literary and historical treatment. As might be expected from the varied authorship, the work, judged as a historical narrative, is often deficient, but as a digest of our knowledge about our predecessors on this continent, it is unsurpassed...
...Josiah Quincy, the Democratic candidate for representative in the second Massachusetts district, said that the Republicans might be allowed the pleasure of having the Harvard students march in their torchlight procession. As long as the boys' hearts were true there was little need for the Democrats to fear. Mr. Quincy's speech was in condemnation of unjust taxation. Mr. G. S. Howe, '89, as the representative of the undergraduates, made an exceptionally fine address. It was a difficult position for an undergraduate, but Mr. Howe's speech could well bear comparison with those those of the elder men. He received...
Some very goods races may be looked for at the freshman races this fall. Ninety-two has sent a number of unusually promising men on to the track both in short and long-distance running; yet she has not filled in our weak places as might have been hoped.

...been entirely unintentional. There has been a number of other cases in which the students, though knowing of the existence of the rule, have relied upon the fact that the rule had not been strictly enforced in past years. It is in such instances as these that some allowance might well have been made for a tardiness of a few days, even if no other excuse was offered. However, the rule is now well published by the effects of the decision of the faculty upon the cases brought before them and the students who are tardy next fall because they...
...freshmen played their second game yesterday afternoon at Brookline with the Boston Latin School team. The freshman eleven did not play as strong a game as might have been expected, their tackling being especially poor. Play began at half-past three. Baker, Carpenter, Forbes and Brooks made strong rushes, and a touchdown was scored by Baker, from which Forbes kicked a goal. Time, ten minutes. Carpenter was injured and Schoen took his place. Good runs by Broten and Waters carried the ball within ten yards of Harvard's goal. Harvard gained the ball on four downs and forced it back...
