...Colleges." It is a very interesting article explaining that to undergraduates the Fine Arts should be taught only to "awaken a sentiment of beauty in the minds of educated men, and to lay the foundations for a discriminating judgment with regard to works of art." Anything beyond this is rather the work of a professional school. Colnnel Higginson's "Address of Welcome to the Harvard and Yale Football Teams" is printed in full. "Headmasters on Secondary Education" consists of a number of short articles by the principals of the leading preparatory schools of New England, among whom...
...first baseball game of the season on Saturday was as good as could be expected. It was hardly a game to test the present condition of the team. The Andover nine gave them little chance for fielding, and the ease with which the Harvard players ran bases was rather a weakness of the visiting team than a sign of great proficiency on our part.

Speaking of the vanities of animals the author says, "The lower we descend in animal life, the more of a coxcomb does the male become." He then gives a detailed and interesting account...
...Silas Deane for the coming of Lafayette to America. A. L. Perry has an article "Protection," giving a very good idea of the protective system. J. P. Pollad the young Chicago writer, is the author of the short story of the number "The Convict Who Escaped." It is rather a striking story. "Andy Rick's Handy Tricks," another short story written by L. K. Meekins, one of the editors of the Baltimore American. The poetry of the number is very good, the best being "After the Quarrel" and "The Kiss of Children...
