...friend and co-worker in Switzerland, Professor Arnold Guyot, to leave his country and settle in the United States. This he did and at first lived here in Cambridge. He first attracted public attention by a series of lectures which he delivered in Boston in 1848. These were spoken in French and were translated for the papers by Professor (afterwards president) Cornelius Felton, under Guyot's personal supervision. Later Guyot's went to Princeton where he has remained for thirty years...
...Hall, a woman of thirty-five or forty, has brought suit against the editors of the Wooster Collegian, the organ of the University of Wooster, for libeling her good name and character, placing the amount of damages at $100,000. In several numbers of the Collegian, the editors have spoken somewhat ironically of Miss Hall and her actions, and she proposes to get pecuniary satisfaction, if the law will give it to her. At several sittings of the grand jury she attefor criminal libel, but failed each time...
...irreconcilable antithesis between the new system and the old. In the belief that this article represents with substantial accuracy the position of the authorities of Harvard College in the matter, and as such deserves the widest circulation, we present it in full below.

...another column two letters from men interested in the class crews and their success protesting against the formation of a Law School crew to compete with them in the class races. As to the eligibility of the new crew, there is the precedent of 1879 which has been spoken of. This ought not to leave any doubt on this point. With regard to the proposition to have the law men row against the winning class, it would not be possible for the two races to come off on the same day, and to keep the men longer in training might...
...Patten, '86, who has never rowed on a crew before, is spoken of as quite promising. He is very strong and already handles his oar in unusually good form for a beginner. If Hyndman, of last year's crew can be induced to row he will probably induce Parrot also to take a seat in the boat with him, thus making four old 'varsity men in crew of 1884. Taking everything together, Yale will, in all probability, present a fine crew on the Thames next June...
