Matthew Arnold delivered a lecture last Tuesday before the Univ. of Pa. The lecture was a comparison of the French and German systems of education with that of England, and was by no means complimentary to the latter. The lecturer spoke in especially high terms of the German system of religious instruction...
...success which has been attained in similar actions by other universities. We need not refer to the work at present done by women at the Boston University and the university of Michigan. Sufficient proof that women can compete successfully with men upon a collegiate basis is found in a comparison of the work done by men and by women at those universities. Few will to day dare deny to women an equal right with men to achieve a collegiate education. Those who oppose the plan of co-education and decry its efficacy as a plan of education, are forced...
...accident which in so unforseen a manner interrupted the final game between the "Peachblows" and the CRIMSONS was extremely unfortunate. The postponement of the game is of little consequence in comparison with so painful a catastrophe.

We need not comment upon the plucky game which our representatives were playing, but desire to express our confidence in the result. We trust that...

...instructive, as well as startling comparison between the growth of Yale and Harvard may be found in the Nation of February 18th. Taking, as a basis, the catalogues of the academic departments only, the writer shows the steady increase of the latter and the decline of the former. Graphic tables are employed which show a continuous upward movement for Harvard, while Yale, after many fluctuations, takes a downward turn from 1882 to 1885. In 1885 Yale entered 22 students less than in 1865. Harvard, on the other hand, entered 133 more. From such a standpoint, the writer's presentation...
