College students are a privileged class no doubt. They are selected by rigorous test as fit persons to receive an education. To pass those tests implies intelligence. It also implies a belief on the part of college authorities that persons admitted to undergraduate status will appreciate their privileges and opportunities and utilize them in training themselves for citizenship...
...earliest extant manuscripts of the Chineses classic and of some other Chinese works of a historical or literary character, all of them ranging from the fifth to the tenth century of our era. As to the origin of the collection, I formed then a theory which has stood the test of time. In about 1085, a foreign invasion from the East frightened the monks who piled up in that cave all their manuscripts and paintings, and walled up the entrance. They must have been killed or scattered, and the memory of the hoard died out. It was rediscovered by chance...

Newell '29, who will all probably get a try at the goal position for Harvard, will have to be in the best of form to match the opposing cageman...
...present investigation were found. From the results of other investigations in progress at the Astronomical Laboratory last year, Professor Stetson is led to believe that the moon might cause a deviation in the direction of gravity as it passed over the meridian of the observer. The most delicate test for a change in the direction of the vertical is to be found in the precise observations of stars for latitude. A photographic zenith telescope locates the position of the zenith with respect to the stars with the order of accuracy of about a hundredth of a second of arc, which...

Coordination was lacking in the attack, but a distinct promise for a strong passing attack, particularly in the first-string line, was manifest. The post which Coach Stubbs desired most to test, that of goal, still remains an uncertain quality due to the Engineers' weak defense. It will receive its first real trial in the game with the University Club next Monday. The veteran defense combination of A. S. Bigelow and H. W. Bigelow seems stronger than that of last year, while...
