...first object to which the association directed its attention, was the physical education of women. A schedule was published giving an account of the methods used in the institutions represented in the association, to promote physical education. The discussion of this question led to an investigation of the general health of women graduates. This was begun by sending a series of printed questions to 1,300 college-bred women. The 705 answers received were tabulated by the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor and results have been recently published and distributed in pamphlet form. Essays and papers on various subjects...
...Natural History, Spanish and Italian courses, the leaning towards the other extreme is worthy of comment. This is a phase of the subject which deserves more attention than it has ever received, and one which possesses the uncommon property of furnishing an argument on each side of the elective question.

And so the plan has been broached that a new base-ball league be formed, to include Dartmouth, Amherst, Brown and Williams. We know already that there is a strong sentiment in favor of this move in Dartmouth and Amherst, and have little doubt but it would be well received...
...teaching; and his methods, as is well known, have given great impetus to the study of political economy at Harvard. The use of diagrams plays an important part in his plan. Diagrams are invaluable to a thorough comprehension of many principles of political economy, but it is a question if the writer has not laid too much stress upon this point. In some parts of the subject diagrams can be used freely, but sometimes a diagram may be as misleading as a false analogy, and therefore extreme caution is needed...
