...dwelt upon the weakening of the support afforded by Russia after the late war in the East, and also on the personal ascendency which the Czar exercised over the Kaiser. Since the conference at Algeciras, the relations between the two countries have been placed on a more satisfactory basis, though the terms of the treaty remain the same...
...Outside' Papers of Harvard," a term meant to include all the College periodicals except the five undergraduate papers, gives interesting information on a subject probably little known to undergraduates. Variety and relief are gained by an amusing ghost story by Mr. H. B. Sheahan. On the whole, the issue, though somewhat perfunctory in tone and journalistic in style, is mildly interesting and informing...
...leading article, "Debating at Harvard University," Mr. E. R. Lewis sounds an alarm to more than the merely inevitable candidates for this branch of activity. He urges men of wide interests, as well, to participate. His plea is undoubtedly earnest and timely, though one could wish that what he conceives to be the greatest benefit from debating--the mental training--had been less dully expounded. In these days, when undergraduate parlance is so largely composed of indiscriminate, dis-jointed burlesque, assuredly much should be made of any pleasurable exercise which is likely to create real mental fabric...

The animal spirits were manifested in bonfires in the Yard, and in other pranks. This is now worked off in organized athletics, though there is no necessity for the "rough, violent, fierce sports commonly thought necessary to the development of martial qualities." The fact that over 1200 Harvard men served honorably in the Civil War, over 160 of them giving up their lives, is ample proof that the "martial spirit" was alive...
