...Rocky Mountain Harvard Club held its fifth annual dinner Wednesday evening, the 28th. Before the banquet there was a short business meeting, when Mr. W. H. Smiley, '77, was elected president, and Rev. S. A. Eliot, '84, secretary. Mr. Eliot responded to the toast "Alma Mater." Other toasts were: "Proctors of Yore," "College Widows," "Colorado in Harvard and Harvard in Colorado," "The Medical School," and "Harvard in Literature." In replying to "Harvard Athletics," D. H. B. Whitney said that he should send his son not to the college that has gained the most victories, but to the college that gave...

The model of the glacier represents a mountainous district with much variety and detail of structure and form, including two lofty gathering basins, where the snow...

All these plans greatly increase the work accomplished by the observatory...
...right to be proud. We thank Mr. Hooper for his success in refuting the slander which has been set loose upon us. In justice to Harvard his letter ought to reach the public as well as the students. The newspapers are certainly too apt to make a mountain out of a mole hill when they think they find an opportunity to bring discredit upon any college...
...Udostheera and his army followed a white horse and conquered nation after nation. Peace and prosperity then came upon Udostheera's kingdom but he is not content, and abdicates. With his wife, four brothers, and a black dog, who is justice in disguise, he goes towards a sacred mountain for meditation. On the road all his companions except the dog drop dead, and these-two-soon reached the summit. A golden chariot arrives to take Undostheera to Heaven; he, however, steadfastly refuses to go without the dog. Justice leaves his disguise and Undostheera ascends to Heaven. Here he is greatly...
