...conceeded by all reviewers as unqualifiedly successful. "Rankell's Remains," by Mr. Barrett Wendell, was the first to appear. And then Professor Royce's "The Feud of Oakfield Creek" came. This has had a large sale, and it is stated that a second edition will be put through the press. Of works that are of particular value to the University is a volume of 407 pages, written by Francis H. Brown, M. D., of the class of 1857. It is entitled "Harvard University in the War of 1861-65."

Page, of the U. of P., is, without doubt, the highest jumper in the college association, but if he refuses to enter, as is probable, Sherman, of Yale, will be a hard man to beat. Goodwin, Yale, '90, is another good man if his health will...
