...before their classes, so that he may be able to turn his labors to the best account. This has been recognized by the authorities at the library to a certain extent, and recent papers have been collected and bound for use in the reading room; but for some reason the assortment is by no means as complete as it should be. The mid-year papers have not been kept for the past six or seven years, although these are the very ones now in demand. The old examinations are of little value on account of the continual advance...
Permit me, through your columns, to approve the suggestion made in last Saturday's issue in regard to the hare and hounds runs. I see no reason why this sport could not be carried on during the early spring, as the roads are not necessarily always bad. Although, properly speaking, it is a fall sport, yet I think that runs could be held to great advantage in the spring. These runs, providing that the H. A.

...challenge recently received by the management of the Navy from Dublin University, Ireland, is only upon the condition that a Yale crew is sent to England to contest with the crews of other universities.

It is, of course, necessary at times for the lecturer to detain his class for two or three minutes. When, however, this delay becomes a settled practice as it has with a few professors we feel that the trouble thereby caused...
...second term of the year, opened after the holidays on Thursday morning, January 3. Nothing of importance has occurred during that time, as college is necessarily quiet during the opening weeks of that term. By reason of the mild weather the baseball men have been practicing out-doors some during the past few days, but most of the work has been almost entirely confined to the gymnasium. Princeton will suffer a great many disadvantages from the loss of the cage, which was destroyed by storm last Commencement, and which was expected to be of such service, especially in batting.
