...next Saturday together with various other events of the kind, show the social activity that for the moment replaces that of the out-door athletics. The university Chess Club is now in the midst of a tournament for which there were thirty-one entries and which bids fair to result in a close and interesting contest; and a strong competition for the various papers and literary magazines is making itself apparent. The "Banner" for 1886-7 will be ready for sale this week, and will undoubtedly be the most attractive one ever published. One feature of the issue...

It is not the amount of work merely, that counts in History 13, but the amount of work done...
...time they now grudge putting on History 13, in pursueing the college catalogue in search of "snaps." And right here, it would be well to take a glance at the whole History department. In most of the courses the system of collateral reading is in vogue and with what result! The knowledge gained from such reading has a certain delicious flavor of uncertainty that shows only too well how desultory such a process of work is. In History 13, however, the instructor has given us a system whereby we can get at the sense of the question without being compelled...
