...Brunonian thus comments on Prof. White's new method of instruction in Greek poetry: "The novelty of the plan thus proposed will doubtless have the effect of securing the interest of the classes. It certainly has the merit of allowing the widest range of freedom to the student and at the same time of demanding results which could only be attained through a thorough knowledge of the text.

If only the last three were in a league it would be very easy to have three games with each opponent.

Now is your chance, '86, you will do well to improve this opportunity; everything is before you. Consider the prize...

Mr. Peter Duryea offers to back a sculler (at present unnamed) against any other rower in the world, in a three or five mile race, for from $5000 to $10,000 a side. He will also match a pair of rowers against any other two scullers for a like amount...
