...very common, the number contains two articles on travel, one by Henry Van Dyke entitled "From Venice to the Gross-Venediger," the other by Alfred J. Weston, called "From Spanish Light to Moorish Shadow." There are so many magazine articles of travel which are hardly more than mere guide book accounts, that it is a pleasure to come across such an appreciative writer as Dr. Van Dyke. He gives something more than a topographical description of the country passed over; and when he gives this, he puts it in a charmingly readable form. There is a distinct atmosphere...
...books have been stolen this year and from editions which are few and valuable. We enjoy a decided privilege in this system of reserved books which enables us to read the best works in literature and history and philosophy. That it should be abused so disgracefully casts an unpleasant shadow on student honor. It was sufficient of an abuse when some men hid books in the shelves that others might not have them when they wanted them, but that they should deliberately steal them seems almost incredible.

Supposing that a great competition could be held every three or four years, and that the winner in any department could be the champion of the English speaking Race, and that all the contests could be held in a comparatively short space of time, would it not give them much greater prominence and inspire the people with a stronger desire to gain a prize...
Harvard played the first half with a deal of snap and twice seemed in a fair way to score. But the Yale team tackled strongly and stopped Harvard's attempts at rushing. Harvard's defensive play was strong when she was directly under the shadow of her own goal posts. At other times it was careless; and twice Dyer susceeded in dodging through the whole team for rushes of 35 and 20 yards respectively. On each occasion he scored. The other two touch downs were made by Graham who scored when Harvard's weak play behind the line gave...
