...chess tournament closed on Tuesday evening, and Mr. C. P. E. Burgwyn, L. L. S., was declared the winner of the Challenge Cup offered by the club. The second prize was won by Mr. G. P. Faucon, '75. The standing of each contestant at the close of the tournament was as follows...
...every citizen can be, and is expected to be, able to understand something of the theory of the government under which he lives, and to give a rational account of the principles for which he casts his vote. The powers that be in Harvard realize this fact. In the second half of their Sophomore year our fellow-students are required to devote a portion of their time to the study of the subjects in question, and, if they do not neglect their work, it is reasonable to suppose that they will learn enough to render them intelligent and useful members...

At home the majority of us learn only general maxims in this regard, such as, "Don't get in a perspiration and then stand in a draught," or "When you don't feel quite well omit a meal and give Nature a chance to recover"; but of the circulation...
