...that too much of the wealth, however, goes for the erection of showy building and the founding of scholarships, while but little is devoted for the maintenance of the academic staff. The result of this is very bad, as the writer proves. The professors have to rely for their support on lecturing, writing for magazines, and other outside work, neglecting their courses. Another bad result is that young men of talent, naturally fitted for teachers, are deterred from entering academic careers...
...land tenure question, and then gave a complete statement of Mr. George's theory of rent and the nationalization of the land. As to Mr. George's three great arguments, he affirms that commercial disturbances are due to speculations in land.

By their conscientious work during the spring and their success in the games played thus far, the freshmen have fully earned the confidence of the college. It is almost unnecessary to urge that an enthusiastic support will do much towards earning a victory; this is a fact evident to all. This year, for the first time in a considerable period, there is every indication of success - a nine who play well together, three men from the 'Varsity and an experienced captain. But while we think the nine...
