...many that have preceded it. As far as can be predicted now the personnel of the nine will be about as follows: Mercur and King, pitchers, while it is doubtful who will catch; Ames, Brownlee, Conner and Young all being prominently mentioned.

The CRIMSON is better this year than ever before; and the improvement is mainly due to the men who have worked so faithfully on the paper through most of their college course and who have just left us. Fulsome praise is ever out of place and sounds conimonplace...
...course of lectures styled the "Mechanics' Course," given under the auspices of the Sheffield Scientific School, though open to any member of the University, will be resumed this year by a lecture on "Science and Miracles," which is to be delivered next Tuesday by Professor Dubois. These lectures are twelve in number and will be delivered on Tuesdays and Fridays during February and March.
