Although it was expected that the Academic Freshman class at Yale would be smaller this year than last, the figures so far received seem to show that '99 has the usual increase in numbers. Over 400 men took the examinations in different parts of the country and of these 120 were accepted in full, while 192 were conditioned. Fifty more received preliminary certificates. This leaves a total of 362 men for '99, but the class will probably enter with not more than 350 members as compared with 338 in last year's freshman class. Harvard '99 is about 100 larger...
...Leighton Parks closed the services with a few remarks on the passage: "I come not to destroy but to fulfill." Many men come to Harvard and find that the very things they were taught to respect are scoffed at. It may seem to some that religion had come to an end. One man wraps his religion in the napkin of orthodoxy and will not have it touched or made more effective for fear of losing it entirely, while another flings it away and says: "Harvard destroyed my religion...
...part in perpetuating the garbled forms which occur in many collections. In some instances stanzas have been omitted from necessity, and in others stanzas have been transposed for convenience; but in all instances the author's language has been scrupulously sought for and retained. A few hymns which seem to be historically and inevitably composite, are so noted, and their sources are explained in the index of authors. In the musical settings similar pains have been taken to secure accurate and authorized readings as appears in the index of composers...
Until the completion of the Hemenway Gymnasium, the College would seem to be in a sorry plight as far as bathing facilities are concerned. In most of the dormitories there are no baths at all, and in none of them are there baths to spare: there must be hundreds of students who will find that passion for cleanliness, which seems characteristic of the Harvard undergraduate, ungratified. It does not seem quite fair that the College should bring students here and then leave them without the means to an end so important that it has been next to godliness...
...English style and that the turf is not so fast as the made path. L. E. Pilkington, the Cambridge representative for the double event, is short and heavy, not unlike Shaw of the London team, in build, and is speedy for the first five hurdles, but does not seem capable of holding the burst to the finish. With him will be W. M. Fletcher, who stands over six feet, and is broad-shouldered rather than heavy. He is slower than Pilkigton and they bear about the same speed relation as do Cady and Hatch, who will be offered as their...
