...trouble during past years to set out more vines. The autumn coloring of these ivy leaves during the past few weeks has been most beautiful. And when we think how rapidly the vine grows and how easily all our older buildings might by this time have been completely clad in this garb, we feel constrained to suggest to the authorities that they give our descendants this pleasure, by beginning now the cultivation of the Japanese ivy on the walls of the college buildings...

The picturesque and forest-clad banks of the Connecticut River are on his right; over a rickety covered bridge he crosses the stream, and then he is in New Hamshire.

Harvard will endeavor to secure the abolition, or at least a modification, of the iron-clad rules that prevented it from playing with professional clubs or hiring a professional trainer last season, and made it an object of ridicule in the eyes of the other colleges, all of which played professional teams and had the services of professional coaches. Where the logic comes in adopt-such a course and yet retaining a professional gymnastic teacher and allowing a professional sparer to be in the gymnasium is difficult to comprehend. Yet the nine plays under professional rules and the games...
