...students is a difficult question to decide. On the whole, it seems as if the Harvard faculty, with the most laudable intentions, had tried to do too much. Castiron rules to cover every kind of sport, with members of the faculty authorized to superintend all inter-collegiate contests, convey the impression that the students must be a very headstrong and indiscreet set of young men to need such careful watching. A simple set of rules providing that professional athletes shall not be employed to instruct undergraduates, that no games shall be played with professionals, and that the rules of foot...
...entirely outside of the enquiry. Then comes the question, which is the best and why? The Incandescent lamps with a carbon filament are easily destroyed, and there is more or less danger of fire on account of the amount of power used, which requires the larger wire to convey the electric fluid. The best carbon is the cylinder carbon, which has a much greater illuminating surface and consumes only one quarter as much power as the filament carbon, and gives four fold the amount of light for the same power, requiring at the same time a very small wire, thereby...
...introduced. Poetry is more frequent, though not always of the best. The humorous column comes direct from the editors' pen, and is not so frequently clipped.

While their special car was standing in the station in Charlestown, Indiana, waiting to convey them to Louisville, it was run into by the locomotive of the Cincinnati express train, The express was uninjured but the special car was destroyed. Otis Strong of Auburn, N. Y., had both legs crushed, and one of them at least will have to be amputated. W. W. Crehore of Cleveland, O., had one of his legs badly broken, and C. W. Cutler was severely cut about the head...
...both these passages, as thus (probably not quite correctly) reported convey decidedly erroneous ideas, of which the interest of your readers require the correction. It is quite true that both several of the more celebrated "public schools" of England, e. g., Winchesher, Eton, Winchester, Merchant Taylors' (London), Westminster, and also a very large number of "public" or "grammar" schools (founded three hundred years ago for teaching Latin grammar as the necessary key to all higher education in the revival period) were, by their founders' wills connected with, or placed under the supervision of certain colleges at Oxford and Cambridge...
