...Jarvis Fields in places that will not interfere with the other sports, also a space for two more grass courts will be turfed adjacent to the other eight. This will give to the college next fall 45 courts, as good as any in the country. Should these not prove sufficient for the demand, in the following year (1886) courts to the number of 12 could be laid out on the Agassiz Museum grounds, and also about eight grass courts of medium worth on the grounds of the Divinity School. For these courts, permission would have to obtained from the government...
...assert. Completion is the great regulator of prices. Even under a prohibitory tariff there could be no monopoly. Competition would lower prices. We have the resources, the capacity, the honesty to enable us to produce things as cheaply as any nation. But even if prices were higher, it would prove nothing against the tariff. A cheap market to sell in will counter balance a cheap...

Another improvement, and one more properly so-called, is that in drop-kicking and punting by the whole team, and particularly those playing behind the forwards...
...Alexander III. The press has been for some time deprived of its freedom, and the fettering of education is merely in the natural sequence of events. But probably the government cannot go much farther in its course, at least with success. It has already reached the point which has proved fatal to most despotisms, and there seems to be no reason for expecting the government of the Czars to prove the exception to the rule...
