Professor Peirce, after considering the question of the intellectual progress of our College during the past years, and the great advances that have and are continually being made in literature and science, spoke of the original investigations in science which are going on among us, but of which certainly few undergraduates have any knowledge. Professors Gray, Whitney, Gibbs, Lovering, Cooke, Shaler, Trowbridge, and Jackson are all at work in their several departments making scientific researches, and writing up the results they have obtained. Motley has been elected a member of the French Academy; Professor Newcomb, a graduate of our Scientific...
...knowledge of the manner in which business in general is carried on by undergraduates. We are not and probably never shall be sound financiers, yet there is some little hope that we shall not in the future be as extravagant in boating matters as we have been in the past.

In the past four months the shooting has been steadily improving, as we have shown from time to time, and any score made in the last monthly match of the club would have taken the prize in the first match. In their match to-morrow the team that is to represent the club...
...keeping with the rest of the book, that it were a pity to select any one portion of it to point a review; but I cannot leave unnoticed the graceful way in which the editor, after flourishing the laurel crown of social science before the envious eyes of all past and present greatness, has finally deposited it on the head of modest Henry C. Carey. Not content with this even, the inimitable Kate pedestals her hero and, labelling him "the Newton of Social Science," reluctantly withdraws, that generations yet unborn may have opportunity to do him proper homage...
