...years from 1846 to 1856. Dr. Royce first gives an outline of the earlier history of the state, and then tells of the American as its conqueror, and how his conquest was completed and supplemented in the ensuing struggle for good government and order. The last two chapters treat of the social evolution in San Francisco and the history of California's land troubles and politics. The whole book is exceedingly interesting and entertaining, and is printed in neat form. Especially noticeable to Harvard men is the pleasant way in which the logical mind of the author has stamped...
...tremendous drubbing by Yale. Such playing as was done on Holmes yesterday by '89 would be a disgrace to a respectable "scrub" team, and '89 does not begin to play as well as several of the nines which contested for the CRIMSON cups last year. Most of the fielders treat a game of base ball as a huge joke, and during a game indulge in such little pleasantries as guying each other about errors.

Harvard theory assumes that a youth of eighteen or nineteen is not the thoughtless, irrational creature he is generally supposed...
...well turned sentences will react upon him, improving his writing in the course of a year almost beyond recognition. It is true that we get something of this sort by reading the college papers, more especially the Monthly and the Advocate; but here the great trouble is that they treat not of topics which the ordinary man has any occasion to handle, so that they do not have the same effect which a much less pretentious piece of work would have. This want would be entirely satisfied by the bi-weekly themes now written, if only they were accessible. Since...
