...ordinary methods and leading principles of that subject. It constitutes the introduction to the higher Mathematics; and hence is the first elective to be taken by those who mean to pursue a mathematical course, and at the same time is a good supplement to the Freshman work for general students. This elective is required for Honors in Physics, being essential to a thorough theoretical knowledge of that science...
...wish to keep up a year of elective Mathematics, but prefer to confine themselves to the applications of the elementary branches. This course is also especially useful to students of Astronomy, and may advantageously be taken by mathematical students in addition to some of the more theoretical courses. General students will do well to take 1, 2, and 3, or two of them, in successive years...
...regarded as the summing up of pure Mathematics, for it finds a use for the most advanced methods of analysis, and thus has had much to do in stimulating and shaping mathematical progress. Its object is the development of the theory of force and motion in the most general mathematical forms. The previous study of Physics 1 is an advantage in this course, but not a necessity. Math. 1, 2, 5, and 6 are necessary, but 6 may be taken at the same time. Math. 10 is designed for students who have taken 5 during the current year. The precise...
...scene of animation which, two years ago, it would have seemed folly to predict. The oldest inhabitant cannot remember the time when the interest in athletics here reached anything like its present height, and this increased interest is not confined to any one pursuit. Never before was so much general interest shown in Boating, but, at the same time, the Foot-Ball Eleven were never in such a prosperous condition, and, according to the wiseacres, we have not been represented by a Base-Ball Nine equal to the present one since the season...
That this increasing general interest in out-of-door sports will not prove an advantage to the University can hardly be believed. We hope most earnestly that its effect will be felt this summer, and that our Nine, and the crews we send to Saratoga will bring back with them the palm of victory; but whether this much-wished-for result is attained this year or not, we feel confident that this interest insures our future success...
