...Dance on the Susquehanna," by W. D. Howe is a pretty good sketch, especially when one takes into account the fact that almost all the plot is implied rather than expressed. The three most important events of the incident are told, very briefly, yet quite vividly, and there are a few words of introduction and conclusion. That is all, yet the plot is entirely clear...
...courses of the Greek and Latin departments are given under the heading of Classical Philology, with the courses in Greek given first. Greek 10, a rather popular course of Professor White's on the life of the Greeks, will not be given as Professor White will be away. Two new and interesting courses in Greek have been added, one on Homer's Iliad under Mr. Allen, and one on the Greek poets between Hesiod and Aeschylus. There are several new courses in the Latin department. Two courses on Greek epigraphy and paleography will be omitted...
...ball championship yesterday afternoon by defeating the English High School team with a score of 12 to 3. Both teams were supported by an enthusiastic crowd, and the game was very interesting for the first few innings. The last part of the game was played very slowly and was rather tiresome.

The crowning demand w. s that Gawain should cut of his host's head. With great reluctance he did as requested, and there sprang...
...next morning at 12 o'clock the Haverford game began with Haverford at the bat. The runs came rather slow until Stokes and Roberts got together and made 19 and 17 respectively out of a total of 78. Muir, with 13, was the only other player to score double figures. In Harvard's inning Garrett was stupidly run out, and Kaulbach had the same luck with the total at 6. S. Skinner and Dinsmore made a plucky stand for 14 apiece, but the side went out for 51. When the second inning began all of the 500 people present, with...
