...superintendent of the Columbia gymnasium has adopted a novel method of demonstrating to the authorities the imperative need of a new gymnasium. Says the Spectator: "The gymnasium begins to be densely crowded every afternoon, and the need of a new and larger gymnasium is more apparent than ever. In order to have the means of accurately determining the daily attendance, Mr. Cuthbertson, the instructor, has provided a box, in which every one who uses the gymnasium places a card with his name written on it. It is to be hoped that when our liberal (!) and progressive (?) Board of Trustees find...
...very glad to see by the notice which we publish this morning, that our contemporary, the Advocate, has obtained by far the larger part of the subscriptions desired; and we shall be still more pleased to hear, in a short time, that the entire number has been obtained, and that the bi-weekly journal of Harvard is again upon a sound financial basis. Our students do not, it is true, step forward with any too much readiness to support the college papers, but when once the true nature of the case is put before them, we do not have...
...crew. The Post correspondent maintains that in base-ball and foot-ball, all interest centers in the university nines and elevens, that the class nines and elevens exist only in name.

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and the Johns Hopkins University, are the principal literary institutions of this country which offer fellowships. Yale has seven fellowships, varying in value from forty-six dollars to six hundred; two are of the larger amount. The prosecution of a non-professional course of study in New Haven, under the direction of the faculty, is the general condition of holding them. By a "non-professional course," law, medicine and theology are debarred. Princeton, about five years ago, had six fellowships, and was expecting...
Harvard has eleven fellowships of a larger value than most of those in American colleges. Two have an annual income of about six hundred dollars, four of five hundred, and four of eight hundred dollars each. The latter are called "traveling fellowships," and their holders generally prosecute their chosen study in Germany. These fellowships may be held for many years. One of these fellowships was founded in 1871 by George Bancroft, the historian. About 65 years ago Edward Everett suggested to President Kirkland that it would be well to send a young Harvard graduate to Germany to study. President Kirkland...
