...interest to many, students and instructors alike, is the need of a much larger number of duplicate copies of certain reference books in the library. Several new methods of study have been introduced during the past few years, and among them is the use of reference books for parallel reading. Especially has this become the practice in many of the history courses, which are among the largest and most popular in the elective schedule. One of two alternatives for carrying out this reading must be taken by a candidate in such courses. Either he must buy or borrow for himself...
...dishonorable. Obliging our eleven to break its agreement, robbing the Yale ball team of some $1500 seem to have been matter of not the slightest consequence to them, when a few days ago, they took measures to stop the game with Yale on Thanksgiving day. This is an exact parallel case to what happened about a year ago. In the spring of '82 the Athletic Association entered into an agreement with Jim Robinson. The faculty did nothing about it at the time; but after the summer vacation, during which Mr. Robinson received several offers, the members of the faculty took...
...objects must appeal to the sympathies of all friends of education. Its idea is certainly novel and suggestive,-suggestive perhaps of other functions of a similar nature which it does not yet undertake. There are many courses given each year in our best American colleges of nearly parallel scope, on subjects the same or closely connected. In many of these, especially in the higher courses, a certain amount of original work and of independent investigation is undertaken by professors and students in fields comparatively unexplored. As yet there is no established means of communication between our colleges by which speedy...
...minutes after play was resumed, Twombly of Yale made a fine throw for goal from the side, but the ball passed in front of, and parallel to, the posts. This was decided to be a goal, however, by the same Yale umpire who had made the former decision. Soon another goal was made by a swipe from Spencer. At this point there were only thirteen minutes left for Harvard to tie the game. As soon as the ball was drawn off, Harvard kept control of the ball until Noyes passed the ball to Nichols, who threw a fine goal from...
...appointed themselves for the day. After this the morning was spent in study, and the afternoon, until the evening bath, was passed in athletic exercises. We find the character of the exercises much the same as at present. The discus throw was much practised, and, although there were no parallel bars, they had an apparatus corresponding to our horizontal bar and also flying rings. However, the Greeks did not strive to excel in these gymnastic tricks as much as in boxing, wrestling and running. The boxing of the ancients, as we know from Virgil, was of a very cruel nature...
