...features. The first, and indeed most important consideration, is the triple interest such an important event would arouse; secondly, a large diminution of expense for both the Columbia and Harvard crews; and, thirdly, the far greater honor the victors of this race would necessarily secure. For, example, it (we speak hypothetically) Columbia beat Harvard, and the latter is also defeated by Yale, there is considerable uncertainty existing as to the merits of the two victorious crews. Again, such an event would stimulate the healthy and manly rivalry between the three Colleges. Let our exchanges speak...
...considerable energy and public spirit in the brief time since it began its existence. Probably, however, our correspondent mistook the character of the meeting tomorrow night. As to the audience at this meeting, we would advise everybody to attend, only we don't know how well the club can speak. However, we have no fear about the size of the audience. The men in college who take an interest, either active or passive, in elocution, are numerous enough to fill Sever 11 twice over. A large number of these will wish to see how the experiment of an elocutionary club...
...this a correct view of the results of compulsion? There are in every college class students who would attend chapel and church if the rules did not require them to do so. They are active in prayer meetings and other religious work that is optional, so to speak. Compulsion is to them no hardship.

This latter branch threaten to rival, if not to supersede, the classical college, and in the dim hereafter we may learn to speak of Yale as a scientific school with a classical department attached. Compare these Yale figures with our own. The figures for 1883-84 at Harvard were 1522, an increase of nearly a hundred, and for 1884-85, 1586, a gain of 64. While Yale has gone backward during the last...
...yellow and white, set back a considerable distance from the street, and surrounded by very spacious grounds, which contain a fine grove of tall trees, and are themselves surrounded by an almost inhospitably tall fence. Next we come to Mt. Auburn cemetery, which is of course interesting, so to speak, exofficio, and also because it contains a moderately high tower, which is itself considerably elevated. From this we may get a very good and quite an extensive view of the surrounding country. Beyond the cemetery we have a choice of two pleasures, of which it may be said that "either...
