...reports of presidents and treasurers of these colleges. From these reports I infer that at last four-fifths of all the productive funds of the colleges are invested in bonds and mortgages. Few colleges, and a few only, have a part of their endowments in stocks of any sort. A few of them also, notably Columbia and Harvard, have invested in real estate. The facts as to certain representative colleges are illustrative: Cornell University has about $4,000,000 in bonds and about $2,000,000 in mortgages; Wabash has property of $362,000, of which...

With favorable conditions today, we may hope to see Harvard's track athletes do equally good work. For them...
...seems to have set all Boston and its suburbs in a state of dangerous curiosity. It is a well-known physiological fact that many a man, and more women, have been made the victims of hypochondria, of forgetfulness regarding their debts, of illusions of the most aggravating and exciting sort, by curiosity. Now, it may be almost reprehensible in Mr. William Collier, and those who aid and abet him in this query, "Who is Jones?" Intellects have been shattered by questions of this sort and endeavors at their solution. The sphinx herself is much shattered after some...
