Timothy Cole was the master of the art. He was born in London in 1852, but emigrated to the United States when five years old with his father. Burned out in the Chicago fire, he returned to New York penniless. He had been apprenticed to his trade at sixteen and in New York he had little difficulty in finding work with different periodicals. Mr. Cole's connection with the Century Magazine which he has never completely severed, began in 1875 when the late Alexander W. Drake called him into the service of the magazine, then called Scribner's Monthly...
...statement that the "Union is a failure" and a "dying institution" is too preposterous for argument. The Union is of inestimable service to the University. It furnishes meeting places for numerous class, organization, and University gatherings; it provides lectures of great interest and profit, and furnishes club accommodations for sixteen hundred men.

For the "Century" he has done the major part...
Annually this Society holds drawing competitions for Harvard, Technology, and itself. To avoid rivalry between the different institutions, the three competitions are separate, and prizes are given according to the individual standard of the work contributed. Out of nineteen entries, Harvard won sixteen first group medals; out of twenty-seven entries, Technology won six first medals; and out of nine entries, the Boston Society won three first medals. The subject for competition and the judges were the same in each case...
...fact that the normal day consists of not more than sixteen or seventeen working hours raises a number of problems calling for nice adjustment in the fixing of lecture engagements. The hour from eleven to twelve is especially popular with instructors--Professor Munro explained in the Graduates' Magazine--and is in danger of becoming over-crowded and causing bad conflicts. On the other hand, "two-thirties" are anathema to most undergraduates, especially in the spring and fall when athletics are in fullest swing. It has been suggested that they be moved to 7.45 in the morning; and it is likely...
