Great credit is due to Mr. Hunt, '92, for the admirable way in which he has trained the freshman eleven. Seldom, if ever before, has the training of any team been given into the hands of one person; this has been done, however, during the present fall and with good results. We wish to extend the thanks of the college to Mr. Hunt for his efforts...
...been Dr. Alfred Stille, who presented a splendid collection of books, numbering 3000 volumes, and 5000 unbound volumes and pamphlets, and Dr. William Pepper, provost of the university, who more recently gave the greater portion of his own medical library; $15,000 in money has also been received, and one half of it expended in the erection of the new library building, while the other half is to be retained as the nucleus of an endowment fund for the purchase of books and medical journals...

...originated in England. In fact all great advances in the domain of Physics have been made by Anglo-Saxons. The German experiments of the last two years only serve to illustrate the great principle enunciated ten years ago by Clerk Maxwell, namely, that heat, light, and electricity are all one and the same thing, and that we receive them all by electro-magnetic impulses transmitted through the ether from the sun. In the last one hundred years our ideas on physical subjects have immensely advanced. Benjamin Franklin's machine for producing electricity is a hundred times as large...
Benjamin Franklin looked at the skies a hundred years ago to discover the nature of electricity, and we are doing the same thing now. What Franklin failed to see was that the discharge of electricity is not in one direction, but oscillatory. Josepe Henry noticed in 1835 that a Leyden jar gave out not one spark merely but several in succession. He discovered induction, and surmised wave motion, but he never thought of looking together for the source of that motion. It never occurred to him nor to us until very recently, that the electricity is not in the wires...
