The proposition made is briefly as follows: That Yale shall withdraw from the foot ball league, at the same time make a proposition to Princeton that she shall withdraw, with the added stipulation that if Princeton does not comply Yale will see no further obstacle to the formation of a dual league with Harvard.

He suggests as a substitute the organization of local clubs for the purpose...

This article contains a very condensed review of the physical geography and geology of the United States, and also an historical and statistical resume of the development of the mining interests of the country, which in the reprint now in press will, as far as is possible. be brought down to the end of the current year...
