...brains of the whole country. Here resides the emperor. His power is much more restricted than that of the President of the United States. Corresponding to our two houses are the Bundesrath and the Reichstag, established in 1871.

The army had a great deal to do with the rise of nationality. All are compelled to serve their term, so that both soldiers...

...Harvard Index for 1887-88 makes its appearance today. In form it is exactly like the Index of last year, but the present volume is much larger. Several new societies and one new publication are chronicled in its pages, viz. the Harvard Banjo Club, Guitar and Mandolm Club, Sparring Association, 'Varsity Club, Zoological Club and the Law Review. The Everett Athenxum and the consolidated Sodality and Glee Club do not appear. The leading feature in the volume, however, is the athletic records, on which the editors and their informants have worked with great zeal and patience, making them fuller...
