...number of candidates for the Mott Haven team is somewhat smaller than at first, but many will begin their practice again next week. Only two men are putting the shot and four pole-vaulting. There is a large number of men practising for running and jumping. The outlook for winning the first and second bicycle prizes at Mott Haven in the spring is good. As the first of the winter meetings takes place so soon, the contestants are working more regularly. The contest for the medal for excellence on the horizontal bar will be very close. Men are daily practising...
...suffering, of effort and of joy, in which, as in an ocean, they pass their lives. The ideal newspaper, then, tells the whole significant truth about the daily life of its community, the honest and essential truth. But its truth is confusedly the truth of to-day.

This was history with an ancient and geographical basis, but with a modern political outlook. It was a highly creditable course-the best that the writer has found in the annals of any American college-at that early period. It savored, however, more of German than of English origin. John Gross, professor of German and Geography, evidently represents a European current in American college instruction...
