EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.-Your editorial of the 17th ult. on the inefficiency of the German department, has not, it seems, produced the desired effect. Not only has no head to the department been appointed, but the methods of one instructor in particular have established no attempts at improvement. The instructor in question, day after day, ignores completely the presence of half the men in his sections; in fact, to make the matter worse, often calling upon the more fortunate students twice or more times in the course of a recitation.

It is very improbable that a game which involves violent personal collision between opposing players can ever be made a good inter-collegiate game. None...
...proceeded to divide psychical phenomena into five classes. 1. Asomatous, e. g., communication between mind and mind, apart from the ordinary way of communication. Chance will not account for this class of phenomena; for too many experiments have been performed by responsible persons, Prof. Barrett of Dublin, in particular. He has shown that in 31 cases there has been an actual transfer of will. 2. Mesmerism, so called from Mesmer, who first brought it into notice in Paris, in 1778. He claimed that he could cure all diseases by stroking the patient with his hands. His theory was that there...
