...season of 1889 has been a successful one for football. The game has not only grown in popular favor, but there has been a marked improvement in the general playing. The scores made in the intercollegiate league show this development in the playing of all the teams, and a tendency on the part of all to play an aggressive game. Last year the winning elevens, in almost every case, shut out their opponents, and Yale did not have a point scored against her during the entire season; but this year the stronger teams have not been able to prevent...
...Yale catalogue for 1889-90 came out last Wednesday. The number of students in the university is 1477 divided into the following classes: Graduate courses, 81; Yale college, 736; Sheffield Scientific School, 343; Art School, 42; Divinity School, 136; Medical School, 54: Law School, 111. These figures show an increase in the number of students in every department of the university except the Art School. The total increase over last year is 112. In 1888-89 there was an increase of 120 over the previous year...
...medicine originated in connection with the worship of Asklepios, and the cures recorded on the style at Epidauros formed the basis of the system of medicine of the first physicians.

The whole matter is very well illustrated by the present annual pilgrimages of sick people to the island of Tenos, to be healed at the shrine of the Madonna. A plan of Epidauros and a number of bas-reliefs...
...must be made this year to produce a winning team. In the first place the old Mott Haven cup, which has been won by Harvard eight times out of fourteen, comes to her for good, and is replaced by a new one. It will be difficult for Harvard to show as good a record in the years to come as in those just past, and for this reason it is urgent that the names of her team should be the first inscribed upon the new cup. Furthermore our failure to win in football puts an added responsibility upon the Mott...
...these words Jesus justified himself for healing the lame man on the Sabbath. He had a flash of insight into the purpose of God, and understood that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. But His words have a larger significance than this. They show how deeply conscious Jesus was of God's working everywhere in the world, and how this consciousness was His inspiration, and may be ours. We all wish to help humanity, but are in doubt as to this proper method. The development of better persons is the real end to be sought...
