Every man will have one Chinaman assigned to him, for whom he is solely responsible. The teaching is slow and sometime tedious in spite of the interest shown by the pupil and needs a patient teacher who will make it a point not to miss a single meeting. But when the apparently dull pupil has once mastered the elements of the language, then the progress is rapid, the Chinaman soon takes up the Bible, and well prepared by patient love of his teacher, he is readily led to grasp the truths of the Christian religion...

There has been only one patient in the Holmes Field "hospital" for contagious diseases. This building is nothing more than a small cottage with two rooms for patients and two for nurses, so that four men, at the most, can be accommodated in it. There is great inconvenience, too, in having the meals brought from outside. The college needs a new, well-equipped infirmary, in which students might be placed and receive all the care and comfort of a well-ordered hospital...

...long as one team plays in secret, it will of course be necessary for their rivals to do the same. The 'varsity has need of all the time there is left before the Yale game to perfect its new plays, and the college must be patient. What we want to warn men here against is the possibility of falling into such a frame of mind that they may forget that the football team represents all Harvard and is not a sort of secret society. None of us care to have Harvard outdone in cheering at Springfield, but unless...

...waiting their "turn" to stand for a moment under one of the streams of alternately hot and cold water, which flow from the four spigots. Perhaps ten or a dozen fellows have enjoyed this rare (?) treat when a sulphurous epithet from the head man in line announces to the patient fellows back of him that the hot-water has given out. Which horn of the dilemma will prove least dangerous is the question which now confronts the men who have not yet bathed; whether to stand there until the hot water is again turned on, in the meantime becoming thoroughly...
