...nature, of what is commonly called the "field work," and the advantage of the intimate association with an instructor, are by no means small. And when the real pleasure and profit that are derived from the vigorous walks across country are taken into account, courses in Natural History seem to possess an attraction that does not belong to the courses in other departments. It is enough for us to say that we believe that an afternoon spent in the experiences of a N. H. excursion, is profitably and pleasantly spent...
...heaving but soon desisted while Balch took in a fair amount of rope. The '86 anchor now had some trouble in straightening out his legs. At the end of two minutes '88 had about a foot of rope. The '88 men now took a little rest, leaning back and seeming to enjoy the prospect. '86 tried to recover an inch or two but the '88 team continued to take in rope. At the end of four minutes '86 had let out some eighteen inches. A few more powerful heaves now settled the ludicrous contest, and '88 won with over...

Writing a part in itself may seem an irksome task, but it is not a thankless one. If the indifference in this matter, which seems to have taken hold of college men so strongly, could be dispelled, if the members of eighty-six would initiate the custom of having a likely competition for parts at commencement, there...
...armies and navies. Moreover, we think that a university which educates men for law or medicine is but widening its usefulness when it founds a school to drill men for public life. But though such work could best be carried on at Washington it does not at present seem likely that it will be. Accordingly, we hope to see Harvard enlarge her influence, and broaden her university character by starting a good school of Political Science, just as she has established a Law School...
