...proposition, of which the practical result will be the abolition of the contests sought to be regulated. And, indeed, it is self-evident that, in taking Harvard out of the league, defeat is invited in any encounter (except boating) with Yale, for want of the same discipline against first-rate antagonists; and regular defeat means discouragement and disgust for the loser. Nor, we suppose, is it certain that, under the new conditions, Yale would condescend to play with Harvard at all, while to be shut up to the minor New England colleges would be intolerable to Harvard. The Overseers...
...certainly deserving of the severest censure. The baseball season has now been open for the past three weeks, and during all this time only one game had been provided for-that with Andover, last Saturday, which could not be played on account of the inclement weather. At this rate the freshman nine may possibly be able to play four games before it will meet the team from New Haven; and still some people are so foolish as to wonder why Harvard does not win.

...made over to the State University. The long, delicate work of making and mounting the enormous telescope has been successfully accomplished. A defect in the movement of the revolving floor of the dome will be remedied by means of four hydraulic rams which will move the floor at the rate of a foot per minute. The observatory has been provided with the best and most perfect astronomical instruments, including a spectroscope having a prismatic field of thirteen feet. More than $600,000 have been spent and only $100,000 remain of the original fund. The expenses for repairs and salaries...
...author is far-reaching, and extends wherever there are active intellects. In this it has a great advantage over the limited range of the greatest legal or medical reputations. One brilliant story gives a young man a position and influence which cannot be measured in money. Even a third rate author can rest assured that he has friends everywhere, and the receipt of letters from his admirers will be a most enjoyable experience. Although there are no regular grooves leading up to this profession, yet the approach is easy. There are no examinations to be under-gone, and no special...
