Greek can be studied here with admirable facilities; so can all the languages and all the sciences, and the best of all is that good as are the helps and high as are the standards, nobody has such a conceited estimate of them as not earnestly to strive to make them better.

And this fact should encourage us all to hope for a favorable issue of the game on Thanksgiving Day. The men have shown that, though the loss of their captain was severely felt, they...
...contestants must meet at the gymnasium at 2.30 p. m. promptly. The finish will be near the Mt. Auburn bridge over railroad, a little after four. As every single man has announced his determination not to win a prize, but merely to go in for the fun of the thing, a lively race is anticipated...
