THIS work is complete. It is useful as a reference book, and even interesting reading. Harvard has not lately taken great interest in secret fraternities, but the large number of these societies at other colleges must make Mr. Baird's work valuable to them. There are at present, in American colleges, forty-five general fraternities, thirteen local fraternities, and seven ladies' societies. Among the best-known societies, the Alpha Delta Phi has twenty-three chapters, and among its members are Rev. Phillips Brooks, Prof. James Russell Lowell, Rev. Edward Everett Hale, and President Eliot; the Psi Upsilon has seventeen chapters...

While laudable enough in themselves, they necessitate a division of energies, and take up an amount of time that in no way compensates for the advantages afforded by one strong association. Men interested in various subjects might, as now, meet at certain times, but always as members of the Union (in a room corresponding to the English debating-room, for instance), without all the machinery of officers, and without the expenditure of time and money which the separate organizations...
...nothing was made on either side. When time was called, Princeton was declared the winner. Score, one goal to nothing. After the usual cheers, the players returned to New York. The game was well played throughout; and the safety touch-downs on either side were nearly equal in number...
