...founding a free school of mechanical trades in Philadelphia, Mr. Isaiah V. Williamson has shown an amount of sterling good sence in marked contrast to the conduct of those men who try to immortalize their names by founding so-called "universities" in obscure country towns. This school will prove of the greatest benefit to the city, and will form a most useful supplement to the public schools. The endowment is $500,000, the income from which will be large enough to defray all expenses. The school is intended to furnish a free technical education to boys who show an aptitude...
...last June after our race with Harvard who would not have gladly remained in training if a race could have been secured. Yale will begin official negotiations very shortly with Cambridge relative to arranging a race if it is possible to do so. One or two things, however, may prove rather considerable obstacles. In the first place, any idea of a race between Yale and Cambridge in April, as has been suggested by the newspapers, is out of the question.

The game will be a game only by courtesy, in reality it will prove work. The freshman teams of previous years have set '92 an example which it is their duty to follow. In doing this, confidence will be helpful but overconfidence disastrous. Careful, hard work will prove quite as necessary as pure brawn. In fact, the team must rely almost wholly upon the former...
...drawn such crowds that Boylston Hall has been utterly inadequate to accommodate them. Besides, the seats are so uncomfortable and the ventilation so wretched that the hall is quite unfit for the purpose. Last winter the lecture room in the Jefferson Laboratory was used several times and did not prove to be any too large for the audiences. It has all the necessary arrangements for using the stereoption and, besides, has none of the disadvantages of the other hall. Many more students would attend the lectures if they could be assured of a comfortable seat and breathing room. There will...
