...literary taste and tendencies; and while it has never taken so marked a lead in athletic interests as some of its contemporaries, it has furthered the interests of the college papers too materially to make even our sincerest thanks, now, any sufficient return. The Crimson, under its earlier name, received from Seventy-five an energetic and able board of Editors, such as few subsequent classes can hope to surpass. Not only as acting Editors then, but as contributors since, this board has shown its interest in the welfare of The Crimson. To-morrow we join in the celebration of their...

In reading the Georgics, it is proposed to investigate the peculiarities and difficulties of Virgil's style more thoroughly than can be done in schools, where he often receives - most illogically - the name of an easy author. If a student prefers to omit this course, Tacitus and Juvenal are usually read in the later years to fully as great advantage. All these courses contain a large element of poetry. Course 5, on the other hand, is exclusively prose, which it is found that...
