The student who feels a just pride in the success of the athletic associations cannot value the various photographs of such associations as highly as he ought, when he knows that they are scattered abroad in shop windows. To render the possession of these photographs the peculiar right of the students and their friends, a copyright should be secured...

Who can deny that the first are often last, and the last first...
...greater part for its new house, but the sum needed will doubtless soon be raised and the society be placed on a sound financial basis. The names of the well-known gentlemen and ladies who form the corporate body of the institution are a sufficient guarantee of its ultimate success. On the other hand, the odds against which the society has yet to struggle are great. The growing reputation of Boston University and Wellesley College is an important obstacle which cannot be disregarded. Any earnest attempt to offer greater educational advantages to women is worthy of praise. In spite...
