...number of original drawings by masters of the old English water-color school are now on view at the Fogg Museum. The artists represented are: Samuel Prout, David Cox, Peter DeWint, Henry Edridge, Thomas Girtin, Paul Sanby and John Varley. These are all characteristic examples, and serve to show what were the artistic ideals, and the technical methods, which prevailed in the English School of the early part of the century now closing. While more or less conventional in both conception and treatment, these works are generally well composed and exhibit the skill in the use of pure water-color...
...central organization of the University. At the meetings of the union, parliamentary law is strictly observed and a careful record of each meeting is kept.

The new plays worked well against the second eleven and three touchdowns were scored during the half...
Just now the most important step in securing the University Club is to show the graduates, by corporate action of the students body, that we heartily endorse the establishment of a club of this nature; further than this, that to a man we are willing to take hold and help in whatever way we can. A great deal of money must still be raised; and, if we expect the graduates to contribute, we must first prove that this no momentary burst of enthusiasm, but that we are interested heart and soul, and that we accept as the greatest good fortune...
