...true, as reported, that a gift of $1000 has been made to be used for the department of Political Economy, it does not seem as though there should be any doubt regarding the instructor who should be retained. Dr. Laughlin has been here four years, and the best proof of his success is the esteem in which he is held by all who have been under him. He is an able instructor and has had the advantage of experience, which is of great advantage in showing an instructor how to interest his classes. The petition which is now being circulated...
...pleasant to note how the more rational and intelligent portion of the outer world are disposed to deprecate any undue excess in the present reaction against the "epidemic" of athleticism in our American colleges. The absurd strictures of such men as Dr. Crosby seem to meet with little approval save from the so-called religious press. The standpoint of the Nation and of other representative journals on the matter seems to be generally accepted as the more reasonable one. It cannot be doubted that the utterances of such men as President Eliot and President Barnard in favor of college athletics...

...strange contrast with this is that case which occurred last year, when a student in one of the German courses received the maximum mark of 100, and yet for the same theses received under the head of forensics less than 95! Here we have the tables turned. Two things seem certain from these facts, namely, that instructors should remember that it is a difficult thing to get the maximum mark in forensics, and that the same scale should be used in all other departments for marking forensics that is used in the English department, so that the rank list...
Memorial Hall has been made the victim of several "improvements" during the recess. Part of the woodwork at the west end of the hall has been painted over with a dark red colored pattern which does not seem to be favorably received by the average art critic who boards at the hall. The posts at the east end are now being gilded with an alarming yellow color. The new desks and railing in the auditor's office have been finished. The most popular improvement of all, however, is the placing of a new clock on the west gallery...
