George Hosmer, the rowing celebrity, has invented a rowing machine for indoor practice. In form, it is of the size and bulk of the tricycle, and constructed in a similar manner. He doubtless obtained his idea from this machine. Hosmer claims to have made a mile on it to the tune of 3.45. Wheel...
...second statement of the essay brings to mind the conviction held by the writer, and doubtless by many others, in their earlier years. When we viewed the world from the foot of the spelling class, years and years ago, we were certain that we were smarter than any other member of it. Now we have written proof, that our superior intellectuality was the real cause of our former disgraceful position, and that, in truth, the rest were mere dolts in comparison with us. It was only another case of the ugly duckling without the ugly duckling's good fortune...
...typographical appearance the book is all that could be wished. Slight errors will doubtless be found, but in such a volume of names and figures and general data, this is not surprising. That this year's Index is a success cannot be denied. To Mr. D. B. Chamberlain, '86, the editor, the thanks of the college are certainly due for a neat and well compiled volume...
...Doubtless general interest is at once directed to the summary of instructors, students, etc., in the different departments of the university. The college has: seniors, 232; juniors, 236; sophomores, 232; freshmen, 258, and special students, 110. Total, 1068.

...attendance of students at the Sunday evening services in Appleton Chapel has of late shown a marked increase. This greater attendance is doubtless largely due to the fact that prominent preachers have occupied the pulpit. Such men as Canon Farrar, Phillips Brooks, Minot J. Savage and others, who have recently preached in Appleton, cannot fail to draw large audiences. Moreover, by their power and earnestness they never fail to interest and influence. We cannot but be glad that the college is so fortunate in getting able men to occupy the chapel pulpit, and we believe that in this...
