...today's meeting with Yale, the first of the contests for the "University Track Athletic Cup," a good deal of the well-known and baleful Harvard over-confidence has been exhibited. There seems to be a prevailing impression, not only that Harvard will win, but that she does not need to work exceedingly hard to do it.

...official notice appears in another column of the new department of study which the college has established. It is by no means surprising that this department has been added; because in late years the need for it has been very steadily growing.

At the beginning of its work a few summers ago its projectors had the hope that it would supply a long felt need. Not only has it accomplished this purpose, but it has succeeded in developing for itself a very distinct work. It has given an unparalleled opportune to teachers from outside the college to learn the best methods of instruction in the various departments; and has thus built the foundations for the school...
