...light is entirely outside of the enquiry. Then comes the question, which is the best and why? The Incandescent lamps with a carbon filament are easily destroyed, and there is more or less danger of fire on account of the amount of power used, which requires the larger wire to convey the electric fluid. The best carbon is the cylinder carbon, which has a much greater illuminating surface and consumes only one quarter as much power as the filament carbon, and gives four fold the amount of light for the same power, requiring at the same time a very small...
...after its foundation, classical studies were alone fursued, but mathematics were added in 1837, and modern languages twenty-four years later. The old buildings were occupied until the beginning of this century, when no ones were erected, together with a chapel.

Buron was a graduate of this school; also Peel, Canning, Sheridan, and many other men of note, although Eton bears the palm for educating remarkable...
Finally, this rule, if allowed to stand, would tend to defeat one of the very purposes or which those who drew it up are supposed to be stiving-the placing of all athletic contests between the various colleges on a footing as nearly equal as possible.

Controversies are as likely to arise between members of a committee composed of older men as between undergraduates, as the experience of the past has shown...
...Frost read last evening in Sever Hall, to a larger audience than could be expected on so unfavorable a night, his prize essay on "The Political Career of Daniel Webster." Mr. Frost and Mr. Kittredge, '82, are the only undergraduates in several years who have received the full Bowdoin prize...
