...would probably apply as well to graduates of other colleges and to other prominent papers, and is somewhat astonishing when we consider the comparatively new field of college journalism, with the advantages it gives to undergraduates. Dr. Talmage's approval of this branch of college study has probably been heard by most students and is, in fact, an old story. But, as Dr. Talmage is himself editor of a prominent New York weekly, one naturally inquires what should lead him to approve so highly of college journalism unless graduated editors of college papers are able to command responsible positions...
Prof. Lanman then made a few remarks, which every man in the college ought to have heard. The tendency in athletics is twofold. Among professionals, games as such are becoming scientific and business-like. In colleges interest in general athletics is becoming more universal. In art, the development of a people is not marked by a few exceptional works, but by the widespread dissemination of artistic taste, as among the Chinese and Japanese.

The prescribed writing of themes and forensics tends to give to all a slight foundation in writing English, and it seems that so long as prescribed studies remain in vogue in the university, along with...
...third concert of the series given in Sanders Theatre last night was well attended. The audience was large and enthusiastic. The programme was by far the most popular we have yet heard. The recitations were all rendered with the care and taste that characterizes all of Mr. Henschel's work. In the absence of Mr. Winch, Mr. Henschel consented to fill his place, to the delight of the audience. His two selections were from the "Meister-Singer" and the ever-welcome "Two Grenediers." The latter selection introducing the Marseillaise, was received with a round of hearty applause that continued...
