...visiting Harvard, Yale, and some few other colleges, these gentlemen have returned to their posts of duty and have made their report on what they have observed and learned. The Army and Navy Journal publishes this report, which furnishes some decidedly interesting reading. The gentlemen declare themselves to be perfectly satisfied with the methods in vogue at West Point, and say that they have obtained very few ideas from their tour. This is, indeed, very gratifying, and the nation at large can certainly be congratulated that the wisdom of its one military school so far surpasses the combined wisdom...
Although the team is to be congratulated upon its success last Saturday, still it should realize that its play is far from perfect, and it should endeavor to make great improvement before meeting Princeton's fine team on the 10th. Our goalkeeper is probably the best college player in his position, but he should be quicker in gaining and throwing the ball.

Of the fielders, Machado plays excellently; he catches and throws well...

This little building is the college hospital, and, although small, it is yet perfect in all its arrangements. In 1874 the authorities felt the need of an institution of this sort in connection with the college, for twice in recent years the breaking out of a contagious disease had found the college unprepared for such an emergency. In the first of these cases the president...
...brought to his attention when 19 years of age, while tramping through the Maine woods. The lumbermen refused to allow any of their number to take any liquor of any kind with them into the woods. It was a measure of self preservation. In the log drives the most perfect control of every faculty was necessary, and the lumbermen would not permit themselves to be at the mercy of any one man who might wish to indulge himself. He was obliged to sacrifice his own pleasure to the safety of the majority. All employers believe in shutting off their workmen...
