Although base-ball is at present the predominating object of interest to the University, yet with the near approach of the intercollegiate athletic games there is manifest a liverly curiosity and anxiety as regards the strength and capabilities of Yale upon the track.

Even a third rate author can rest assured that he has friends everywhere, and the receipt of letters from his admirers will be a most enjoyable experience. Although there are no regular grooves leading up to this profession, yet the approach is easy. There are no examinations to be under-gone, and no special training is necessary. The interest of the publisher is the same as that of the author, and there is no antagonism. The old writers are dropping out of the ranks, and it is the strongest desire...
