...dulness is certain to be acceptable. The Athletic Association has shown praiseworthy activity in this matter, and we wish it would consider, at the present time, the results of its fall and summer meetings. In all of them there have been very few contestants, and among these a lack of thorough training.

In such a building as Weld a fire on the ground floor would be drawn up to the roof in less than a minute...
APROPOS of the President's wail over the lack of students at our Divinity School, we copy the following from the Academy, December 18: "Theology is evidently not a favorite study with the rising generation of Germans. At Heidelberg only nine of the 488 students have entered their names as attendants at the classes of the Theological Faculty.
