...essential feature of Ruskin's philosophy of art is the affirmation of the influence upon art of moral conditions and the reaction of art itself on moral character. That moral conditions influence the arts is a proposition little doubted now. That the duty of the fine arts is to perfect the morality or ethical state of men is a proposition, however, that has laid Ruskin open to much criticism. History shows that Ruskin was probably mistaken in this respect. Ruskin's philosophy of art in "Modern Painters," will in the main, however, be found entirely sound though overstatements, and even...
...second Yale game was played at New Haven on June 26 and was won by the brilliant work of the Harvard battery Stillman allowed but four scattered hits throughout the whole game, and Reid, though troubled with an injury to his leg, maintained his perfect fielding record...
...nine defeated Holy Cross Saturday afternoon through Stillman's excellent pitching and by consistently good fielding. Considering that there were two substitutes in the game, the showing made was very encouraging. The men played well together, and were perfectly steady at all times.

He received perfect support after the first two innings, when Fincke and Coolidge made errors, which, however, did not prove costly...
...game was played under nearly perfect weather conditions before an enthusiastic crowd of about six thousand persons. Princeton won by heavy batting in the first four innings, when all their runs were scored. Harvard had nearly as many hits, but most of them came with one or two men out. The fielding was rather erratic on both sides. Kernan was substituted for Stillman in the fourth inning and did excellent work, allowing but two hits, and no runs during the remainder of the game. Reid strained his leg in the first inning, but played nearly all of the game, being...
...weather here was perfect and the observations entirely satisfactory. We secured thirty-six plates with the intramercurial apparatus and thirty-four with thirteen other cameras aided by nineteen assistants. The plates will be developed in the Cambridge Observatory. Visually with five-inch telescope, the corona resembled that of the '89 eclipse. Two large solar protuberances were noted. Our polar filaments six seconds in diameter traced the corona about one degree. The shadow of the moon on the sky and shadow bands were well seen. Venus and Mercury were conspicuous. The inner corona was visible in the telescope some seconds after...
