Yet they are being made with a view to making clear the relation of physical training to the development of quick and accurate motions and of well balanced bodies.

As the debaters of last year will none of them compete, there will be three entirely new men chosen...
...Persian and Jew," by John Rathbone Oliver follows "The Latin Play." It is an exposition of Omar Khayyam's theory of existence as shown in his great poem, the "Rubaiyat"; and the author draws attention to the errors in this doctrine by comparison with that of Isaiah, whom we may regard as the antithesis of Omar in ethical teaching. The article is very well written...
