Chas. Doxon of the Onondagee tribe, a student of the school, spoke next. The want of progress of the Indians, the speaker thought, was due to the separation and insolation of the Indian tribes. What is needed is that the whites should settle in their midst; show them that there is no hard and defined boundary between the whites and the Indians. He said in conclusion that if a bond of sympathy is once established the progress of the Indians is assured. The Hampton Quartette rendered some very sweet negro melodies. They sang as an encore the favorite...
...graduate, then spoke on "Africa in America." He emphasized what a former speaker had said of the sore need of competent teachers in the South, of the eagerness with which the negroes seize all opportunities offered them. The speaker gave a short sketch of his life, better to show the need of his people. Mr. Boykin was followed by Marguerite La Fleshe, who spoke of the difference of the condition of her people, the Omahas, to-day, and fifteen years ago when she lived among them.

The writer says there are over fifty papers in the United States employing Harvard men on their editorial boards. Why is it then that Harvard has this supremacy in newspaper work and still offers not "special" attractions for one intending to enter journalism - that is, does not make a noise about her advantages for such...
...Some Interesting Facts about Darwin and the Origin of Species." The "facts" are interesting. The writer says: "When Darwin was beginning to develop his theory, he received a letter from Wallace, who was then in the Greek Archipelago." Now, Wallace was in the Malay Archipelago, and, as I shall show, Darwin was not beginning to develop his theory, but had matured it already some years back. In 1837, Darwin sketched out a MS., which he copied in 1844, when the copy was read by Dr. Hooker, who communicated it to Sir Charles Lyell. In this MS. he treated...
