Admitting the evil, which seems perfectly obvious, how is it to be done away with? We have said that no rule can justly be passed. The remedy cannot be a sudden one, subverting the whole system at one blow. It seems to us that the cure lies rather in a slow but steady raising of the standard of college honor. Not many years ago there was little opposition to practical jokes in the class room or to the most open cheating in examinations. The jokes have gone and the petty cheater is now looked upon as mean and contemptible. These...
...Edward Everett Hale preached last night in Appleton Chapel from two texts taken from the nineteenth Psalm: "The heavens declare the glory of God," and "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." In the middle of this psalm there is a sudden change-the first part tells how all God's works in the heavens and on earth praise Him, while the second shows the relation of God to man. Here, as in many others of the more beautiful psalms, are connected together the infinite and the finite; the infinite works of God and the finite nature...

...cases in which Harvard was individually supperior to Yale in the line, did not affect the result to any great extent.

It was an exact repetition of the Pennsylvania game in this respect, where Butterworth with his inimitable skill followed...
...already won for him a widespread, almost national reputation in this country. During the last six months he has had entire charge of the exhibit of his government at the World's Fair in Chicago, where he has frequently spoken to large and distinguished audiences. Owing to his sudden arrival here, it has been impossible to give sufficient notice to ensure a large attendance, but it is hoped that all will take advantage of this opportunity to listen to one so eminent. The lecture will be open to the public...
