...creditably an hour's test in another, or worse still, fail to do themselves justice in any of their courses. The crowding of these examinations utterly without plan into the last three days of the term, in addition to the extra work at this time, is one of the worst abuses of our examination system, and one of the greatest onemies to regular and conscientious work...
...Alaska are industrious and religious. They are degraded by a superstition which attributes all misfortune to evil spirits. There is a class of "medicine men" who devote their lives to propitiating these evil spirits, and who think to increase their power by eating human corpses Slavery in its worst forms is prevalent all over the country. The masters have entire control over their slaves and often kill a dozen or more as a mere display of wealth. The condition of the women is so wretched that babies are often killed rather than allowed to grow up to misery...
...indignation meeting or shall we allow this latest libel to take its place with many others in the forgotten past?

...game was remarkable as being the worst exhibition of ball playing ever done by Yale in Cambridge. Yale gave away the game in the first two innings by an inconceivable bunching of errors. After the second inning, Yale settled down to work and played a splendid game, both in the field and at the bat. Havard's lead was, however, too great to be overcome. Stagg pitched a magnificent game, striking out twelve of his opponents and keeping them down to five scattering hits. Bates also pitched well, although his wildness in the fifth gave Yale two runs...
