From a rather intimate acquaintance with the slowness with which the authorities make any changes in existing arrangements we are led to believe that for some time to come we must endure this state of things.

This spring should witness a greater number of contests between our freshmen and second nines, and the various school teams. If the school teams could be made to feel...
Prof. J. W. White has told his sections in Greek V that the course has not been a success in regard to reading Greek at sight, as the plays are much too hard for the students; and he has proposed to read Herodotus for the test of the year.
