...Independence, that the Centennial Organization, for adding to its usefulness, was perfected in 1876. And the fact that Washington never received pecuniary compensation for his services in the army, leaves a debt to be paid to his memory by the American people; and as he had a well-defined plan in regard to the establishment of a university in a central part of the United States, for the benefit of the youth of all parts of the country, and as Washington and Lee University is the only seat of learning in existence which received his personal aid and encouragement...
...Yale College team would be one of the finest fielding college nines in the arena, and he felt certain that they would also make their mark as batsmen. He has eighteen men exercising in the gymnasium, and this year the selection of players will be made on a different plan than heretofore. The two teams are to be pitted against each other in a dozen games or more, and the representative players will be selected from the best of the eighteen. Mr. Camp further stated that the other colleges had all strengthened their teams for the campaign...

...subject of compulsory exercise for students has been attracting much attention of late and much has been written on the subject in the college papers. Such a system is in vogue at Amherst and will soon be introduced at Cornell.

That some such plan here would lead to good results cannot be doubted. With our large gymnasium such a plan is practicable here, if anywhere. The large number of men in each class would only allow of this system being...
...chair of naval architecture in this country would certainly be a novel idea. If such a professorship existed in one of our universities, its incumbent might as an expert give valuable advice to the American Congress, which at present is at a great loss to suggest a plan for resuscitating the industry of American ship-building. Such a professorship would be more appropriate however at one of our technical schools like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Great Britain at least has a professorship of this sort and Mr. Francis Elgar, naval architect of the city of London, has recently been...
