...more courses in history. These courses tell us how the world once moved, but changes are so frequent and so rapid that while we may have a good knowledge of the events of a hundred years ago, that knowledge helps us but little in understanding the occurrences of to-day. What seems to be needed, then, as a supplement to the history courses now offered is a course in present constitutional history, - a course which shall teach the different forms of government now in use among the chief nations of the world. A more attractive course than that would...
DEAR JACK, - I happened to meet the other day a fellow by the name of Robinson, who has lately been in Cambridge, and who told me that he had seen you there.

The captain of the crew does not, we believe, agree with the views expressed by our two correspondents...
...candidates for the Freshman crew number over twenty, and the captain, Mr. Ware, will have no lack of material from which to select a first-rate crew. Before Christmas a challenge is to be sent to the Yale Freshman for a race to be rowed on the same day and at the same place as the University race, and in case this challenge is accepted, the candidates will leave the College gymnasium, where they are now at work from half after four until half after five each afternoon, for the boat-house gymnasium. The candidates run three nights...
