President Eliot, in a short speech, said that the powers necessary to win scholarships and prizes are those which bring success in after life. Physical, intellectual and moral strength are as much needed by the scholar as by the athlete or the soldier.

And this responsibility can never be lived up to unless the separate members of the Senior class exercise caution and self restraint in making as well as in accepting nominations. If it is too late for the nominators...
...edition of Le Pedant Joue, including an introduction on the life and works of Cyrano de Bergerac, by H. B. Stanton '00, is a most satisfactory piece of work. Besides the introductory essay and M.
