...country. From its foundation the students have been allowed entire freedom of choice in their studies, and except in the schools of law and medicine, there is essentially no prescribed course. The university is also open to all comers without the formality of examination; the rigorous mid-term and final lests being relied upon to keep the scasses weeded.

The last events of the year in foot-ball will be the final action of the faculty as regards changes in the rules, and the ruling of the convention on Columbia's forfeited games. These will be awaited with interest and we can only hope that they may both be satisfactory and best promote the interests of the sport as an inter-collegiate...
