...members of different corps never recognize each other during the time while the term is in progress, but those at the head of each corps meet and arrange the duels, and the members fight as they decide. This fighting takes place every Tuesday and Friday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and, as a result, the students who have been fighting soon appear with their faces done up in cotton and carbolic acid. In these duels it is impossible for anyone to be killed, for the combatants wear about the neck and body thick leather pads, and thick glasses before...
...does not appear with the other clubs of its kind. The Theta Delta Chi has taken a policy exactly opposite to that of last year, for it announces only the members of the Society instead of only the officers. The societies for study and investigation in general, show marked progress by their increased list of membership.

Yale men appeared completely dazed at this reverse of fortune, and though Beecher made a beautiful run when the ball was again kicked off, there was little appreciation of it among the mournful spectators. After some unimportant play, Referee Camp mercilessly called "time," and Yale was defeated for the second time since the formation of the inter-collegiate...
...wonder, in view of these facts, that the microscope received much attention, and as early as the first part of the seventeenth century the "compound microscope" was invented. Henceforth the progress of the instrument was that of mechanical skill and scientific knowledge. The establishing of the theory of Achromatics, late in the last century, brought the microscope rapidly forward, and the date of 1807 finds us with an "a chromatic microscope," embracing all the main features of the present instrument...
