...last the communistic ownership of property gave way owing to the vigor of enterprise which characterizes modern life. Men saw that the problems of the race could never be worked out or worthy attainments in art an the sciences be reached under that regime. Personal ownership of land and the right to its yieldings became an immense stimulus to effort...
...correspondent seems to admit that the course upon the Thames is so narrow that three crews cannot row there with equal chances, and he bases this assertion upon the fact that last June the Yale crew was compelled to swim over a part of the course. Now it has never been satisfactorily proved that Yale had any worse water than the other crews had.

Never before in the history of the college has New Haven contained so many celebrated clergymen, nearly every one of whom would be acceptable to a college congregation. The easy access which we have to New York, Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia, where reside nearly all the celebrated clergy of our times, offers another...
