...Library also desires to begin in earnest what has been often talked of, a permanent open collection of College pictures, to include not only views of the grounds and of Cambridge, but also snap shots illustrating College ways and current events of all kinds. For such a collection not only recent photographs are desirable but even more interesting are those taken long ago, such as those made by Professor Cooke in 1842-44, which are among the very earliest photographs made in this country. If every period from that time to the present day could be represented...

The plan this season will be directed for the same end,-to make dash and snap make up for lack of weight.

He appears to believe that when he has paid for his ticket to a ball game he has done his duty. So he sits upon the bleachers with a calmly critical mind, cheers when some especially brilliant play is made to relieve his own excitement, and during the rest...
...very poorly played game, Harvard defeated Bowdoin yesterday afternoon by a score of 7 to 5. Neither side played with snap, and both teams made several errors, but this was partly due to the very cold weather. With the exception of Loughlin, the Harvard team has again fallen off in batting, and not one of Harvard's seven runs was earned...
