...SHOOTING CLUB AT WATER-TOWN. Owing to the approaching holidays the attendance at the meeting the Shooting Club yesterday afternoon was rather slim, only those who were interested in the division of the spoils being present. This shoot concluded the series of matches that has been running for the past three weeks. No new series will be opened till after the semi-annual examinations. Following is the list of prize-winners in the different matches. Ties may be shot off at the practice shoots...
...life-like sketch, almost making one see the party at the "Forge." There would have been no diminution of the general effect of the sketch, if the conclusion had not contained the almost inevitable and common reference to a marriage. "Uncle Joe" is a sweet little story on a rather threadbare theme. However, it has the merit of not containing mechanical sentimentality and stilted dialogue, which are the common characteristics of college literature of this kind. The daily themes do not seem so well selected as those in the last number, although they are interesting on the whole...
...contained in them is so trivial and insignificant that only the most masterly treatment could have made it justifiable. Mr. Sempers and Mr. Wister contribute very readable articles. Of the two, Mr. Sempers' will appeal to the more purely literary element of the college, while Mr. Wister, by his rather colloquial style and less abstruse subject, will have more readers, though perhaps less appreciative ones. Mr. Bruce strikes a new note and gives us a study of low life, which is not very satisfactory. It lacks smoothness and force, and is a trifle coarse. The story, as told...
...elective list last year and in its place more attention is paid to the drawing in engineering 5, mathematics 5, formerly 7 and mechanics 1. Therefore anybody who wants to take mechanical drawing can only do so by attending one of the above named courses. As these courses are rather difficult and are not strictly mechanical drawing the student is at a loss what to do. It is not practice in manipulating drawing instruments that he wants, a thing he gets in engineering 1, 5 and 7, but practice in drawing machines, parts of engine bridges, etc., and this cannot...
...decidedly apparent that the game, as played by the principle college elevens has very little that will entitle it to public favor. The game is still a violent struggle, where beef counts for almost everything. Two lines of seven men each stand opposed, and what do they do, or rather what do they not do? They push, jostle, wrestle, block, kick, pull, tear and fight with each other. Football is still a game in which men undergo the risk of injury, and serious injury. To quote one example, five out of the twenty-two men in the Harvard-Yale game...
