...article contributed during the year '85-'86; $5 for the best poem contributed during the year '85-'86." The first thing notable is that poetry is at a discount, doubtless because the editors who offer the prize, wish to defend themselves, knowing too well that the "wild eyed" poets need little incentive to write. Ever since the world began, man has been inclined to force his thoughts into poetry rather than write them easily in prose. The discount on poetry, there-fore, is very probably due to over-supply. But over-supply, as all students of Political Economy know...
...ignorance of the laws of health among college students, and it is merely by accidental learning that such ignorance is in some cases exchanged for a partial information. But a course in sanitary science, and simple rules of medicine and surgery would be of great value. Such a course need go no deeper than what would be most useful in the ordinary contingencies of life, and to be successful should deal with such requirements only.

The suggestion is at least an ingenious one, and is important inasmuch as it emphasizes the great need of the Annex to-day; it also arouses a little bit of poetic feeling in even the most prosaic mind. One has to acknowledge that all the grounds of the Episcopal School need to make them the most pretty and attractive grounds in Cambridge, is that they be associated with some...
...thus do away with the uncertainties and high prices attendant on purchases from American and especially Cambridge booksellers. In order to realize the full benefits of this scheme, the orders should be as large as possible. Let every student, therefore, who contemplates taking a course in which he will need foreign text-books make out his order as early as possible...
