...watching closely the new star discovered by Dr. Anderson of Edinburgh on February 21. No traces of the presence of this star on February 19 were found by the photographic system in use--by which several pictures of the heavens are taken every night--and it must therefore have burst into its brilliancy within the limit of those two days. This limit no observatory could so accurately determine. Like all new stars the origin can only be explained by theories--one of which is that it is formed by a collision of heavenly bodies; another, that...
Phillips Brooks was, first of all, a preacher; and then a poet. If he had lived he might have been an administrator. One of his greatest powers was that of spontaneous prayer. With bowed head he would rapidly repeat some favorite passage; and then, throwing back his head, burst into thanksgiving, glowing and unbounded.

...kicking game. Once she tried to rush but could not gain, and finally, on Harvard's 47 yard line, Daly began to rush the ball. Three 10 yard rushes,--on two double passes and a mass play,--four five yard rushes, and then Yale made a stand. A final burst by Ellis, however, gave Harvard first down on Yale's eight-yard line.

The University Club has now become a personal matter with every resident member of the University. The least...
...sympathies of all sportsmen have been with her in her efforts to maintain the magnificent record she has made in the past, by the exercise of those qualities which even her hereditary opponents cannot but admire and honor. Harvard, on the other hand, has strained every nerve to burst the chain of defeats which have been piling up their weight until it has become almost unendurable. The two teams have met, therefore-the one desperate in its fight to prove worthy of proud traditions; the other equally desperate in its struggle for vindication. But, in spite of this intensity...
