...heart of Greece, free of charge for tuition, and under competent direction. The school occupies a comfortable building in a pleasant quarter of the modern city, and possesses already an admirable working library of about one thousand volumes. "It is now supported by a confederation, so to speak, under the auspices of the Archaeological Institute of America, of fifteen of our chief colleges. This arrangement, though admirable as a temporary expedient and a pleasant novelty, in that it unites with a common interest so many of our centrifugal institutions of higher learning, would be unpractical as a permanent plan. When...
...captions spirit of criticism' but with an earnest desire to further the welfare of the college, that we write the following words on our athletic record of last year.

...Thursday the Johns Hopkins University completed its eighth year. The exercises are simple and business-like. The closing day is not called commencement. There is no band, no speaking of the graduates, nothing but business. At 6 P. M. the president, trustees, professors, instructors, fellows, graduates and candidates for degrees entered Hopkins Hall and took their places. President Gilman's address to the students graduating urged that they should encourage popular education, doing what they could to advance the interest of the common school; that they should be interested in politics, have opinions, scan principles, and not stand aloof because...
