...interesting to note that the majority of the books touch either upon war and military tactics or upon agricultural problems. One is a work that appeared in 1775 on the Prussian evaluations as used by Frederick the Great, and which was purchased directly after its publication.

It is significant to note that whereas of all students in the College who take or who have taken English A or English D approximately 8.5 per cent. have been reported to the committee, no less than 24 per cent. have been reported of those students who have been admitted as "unclassified" from other institutions and who have been exempted from...

From statistics of records of the Intercollegiate meets held since 1876, it is found that the University has won 13 championships; Yale, 9; Pennsylvania, 8; Cornell, 5; Columbia, 3; Princeton, 1; and the remaining 29 colleges and universities, which have competed in various years, none. However, if the number of first, second, third, fourth, and fifth places are counted, the standing of the first six universities is changed, the points adding...
