...heaving but soon desisted while Balch took in a fair amount of rope. The '86 anchor now had some trouble in straightening out his legs. At the end of two minutes '88 had about a foot of rope. The '88 men now took a little rest, leaning back and seeming to enjoy the prospect. '86 tried to recover an inch or two but the '88 team continued to take in rope. At the end of four minutes '86 had let out some eighteen inches. A few more powerful heaves now settled the ludicrous contest, and '88 won with over...
...library be improved. All through the winter the air in Gore Hall has been unbearable, not so much on account of too much heat, as on account of too little ventilation. The quality of the air, if chemically tested, would no doubt arouse the solicitude of those who would seem to be so considerate of the students' eyes.

Accordingly, we hope to see Harvard enlarge her influence, and broaden her university character by starting a good school of Political Science, just as she has established a Law School...
...make a living, much less a name, as an M. D., and the able doctor of forty or fifty years ago would be unable to compete with the doctor of to-day. Mental power and scholarly attainment, while they are demanded more and more in all professions, seem to be especially demanded nowadays in the profession of medicine. Would-be doctors may well attend the lecture to-night, and may expect to hear something worth hearing from one who has had the experience of Dr. Edes...
