...pleasant thing to be able to pass Easter and the following week at home. Besides it makes a very fair break in the time between January 1st and July 1st. The proposal seems to meet with great favor among many of the undergraduates, and there seems to be no strong reason why it should not be adopted by the faculty. Easter-tide is almost as much of a holiday all over the country as Christmas. Schools and colleges close their doors and grant a vacation for several days, if not for a week. And why should Harvard cling so persistently...
...series of lectures on that subject. A course of this kind would tend to be a sort of stepping-stone for those who intend to make journalism their profession, from the inferior to the superior grades of newspaper work. Mr. Pulitzer, of the New York World, is a strong advocate of the formation of a college chair of journalism, believing that by this means a stronger inducement will be offered to the undergraduates to adapt themselves more thoroughly to this occupation in life, and that in this way the tone and matter of the various publications will be perceptibly improved...

In the half-mile run, too, Yale is pretty weak, and unless some new man turns up this event will go to Cogswell, of Harvard, who was entered in the fall games last year, or Faries, of the U. of P.

Chadwick, Coates, Robbins, Childs, Rogers, Simms, Hoefier, Buck, Kenerson, Rockefeller, Judson, Bushnell, Noyes, Allen and Heyworth. These men, although not quite up to the average weight, are strong, with good physiques and excellent staying powers. Many of them have had considerable boating experience, and those who have not rowed much have good records in general athletics. All are in active training, and they are apparently imbued with the determination to make their crew the best one produced by any freshman...
...give the life of Christ in a chronological way. This idea is new and makes the conception of the life of Christ more real and vivid than is obtained from the usual reading of the New Testament. The benefit derived from a daily glimpse of a pure strong life is not to be doubted; and if a man aims only at self-culture, he could scarcely spend fifteen minutes of each day more profitably than at chapel...
