...Resolved, that the inter-collegiate contests of Harvard should be with Yale alone." Mr. J. A. Bailey was the first gentleman to dispute in favor of the affirmative. He said the respective merits of Harvard and Yale in field and track athletics were materially obscured by the admission of smaller colleges in the league. The financial aspect of the case was of great importance and could not be ignored. Harvard's share of the gate receipts in New York would be minute compared with the returns if the games were played alternately at Cambridge and New Haven. Under this system...
During the past few years the delegation of Exeter men entering Harvard with each new class has materially lessened in proportion to the number attending the Academy. The major portion now go to Yale, Princeton and the smaller colleges. Yale receives most, and the rest are divided among Princeton, Amherst, Bowdoin, and Dartmouth. Why this change has come over the former feeding school of Harvard many fail to perceive. The explanation is that a student may fit himself without especial effort for Yale and the other colleges in three years, while a man to enter Harvard must remain another year...

...very well arranged internally. The first floor contains a lecture room seating 200 and a large laboratory. Directly below this laboratory in the basement and above on the second floor are two other laboratories corresponding to the first in size and shape. The second floor will also contain smaller lecture rooms and rooms belonging to Prof. Gooch and assistants. Ventilating shafts connect the various rooms with the roof and all vapors will find an easy exit. The building will be heated by steam from the college heating apparatus, but the steam pipes will not be arranged as radiators but will...
...this action, Columbia is the first of the large colleges to take the step of giving to women the same privileges as are extended to men. Whether this progressive movement will call forth corresponding action from her sister universities remains to be seen. For some time the smaller colleges-Colby, Wesleyan and others-have admitted women as candidates for degrees, but until the plan is adopted by the more prominent institutions of learning the success of this revolutionary attempt cannot be assured...
