...Yale Association of Colorado have raised a considerable fund to aid studious youths from that State in acquiring an education at Yale College. The boys in the Denver high school have been told that the association will gladly pay the tuition of any of them who may go to Yale, and that to those deserving and needing it some other assistance may be given. [N. H. Union...
...EDITORS OF THE HERALD: I heartily agree with "Studious" upon the advisability of having carpets on the stairs. As he suggests, rubber cloth will do; we don't need either Axminster or Moquette.

...Beta Kappa Society, of which they are members; that, as is implied by their membership of that society, they were the highest scholars of the Senior and Junior classes; that their names would be recognized at once by anybody familiar with the roll of students as representing the most studious and orderly element of the College, and that they are known to me - by reputation in all cases, and in most by personal acquaintance also - to be gentlemen, whose principles, self-respect, and steadiness of conduct, and whose word may be relied upon with absolute confidence...
