Frequent demands have been made during the last few years for a course in contemporaneous history, but hither-to without success. Next year, however, Professor Cohn proposes to give a course upon the actual state of European affairs, including such questions as Home Rule, the Bulgarian Question, the relation of the Great Powers to each other, etc. The newspapers will be used from time to time in connection with the other text books. The course is French 11, a course in French conversation, therefore only those who are able to understand French will profit by this opportunity...
...columns of the daily press. On the occasion mentioned above, there was absolutely no hissing whatever on the part of the Harvard men; and, in fact, the conduct of the spectators on both sides was perfectly decent and gentlemanly throughout the game.

These letters and resolutions will be brought before the corporation at their meeting next Saturday, when definite action will be taken...
...post the scores of the base-ball and other games in their windows every evening for the convenience of the students and others who are interested. On Saturday evening an officious police officer ordered these scores taken down, on the ground that they collected a crowd outside. As a rule, Cambridge policemen are a pretty moderate set of men, but this particular one is rather too zealous. His business was to keep the sidewalk clear and keep people moving; if he was too lazy to undertake this he might have sent to headquarters for a more efficient officer. A police...
