Changes and improvements have been made in the courses to keep pace with the rapid growth of the school. The instruction will be both theoretical and practical and will consist of lectures and practical talks on thirteen different subjects and sixty-four courses in physical exercise...
...trial heats had been run off in the morning, so that only the best men started. From the crack of the pistol Sanford of Yale and Marshall of Harvard took the lead side by side and raced fiercely the whole distance. Merrill followed three or four behind till the pace began to tell on the leaders and then on the finish he spurted out between them as is his custom, winning in 50 2-5s. Sanford and Marshall fought it out for second and the Yale man just...

The teaching of elementary mathematics has not hitherto kept pace with the adoption of rational methods of teaching physics; and few preparatory schools offer any course as advanced as trigonometry...
