...game began with Harvard in possession of the ball. Lake gained 15 yards, and Corbett and Upton 7 yards each. Then the ball was forced along by short rushes until it was within 7 yards of Dartmouth's line; here it was given to Upton who made a pretty run and scored the first touch down three minutes after play began; no goal.

...Dining Association. Of all the things which arouse a spirit of rebellion, nothing could be more effective than to allow more men to crowd into Memorial Hall.

The embankments along the river keep out the water so that the land that was once marshy is now dry.

...biography of Johannes Butzbach of Miltenberg, who lived in the sixteenth century and whose struggles in search of an education form interesting reading. Other noticeable articles are by E. P. Evans on Ibsen, and by Sarah Orne Jewett-a story named "By the Morning Boat." The serials meander along as usual and there is the usual supply of book criticisms and of verse...
