...catalogue alludes to the many advantages in the way of art-schools, music-schools, preparatory department, etc., which the college affords, but lays peculiar stress on the location. Springfield, Missouri, the seat of this Institution of Learning, is celebrated, we are told, for its salubrious climate. The heats of summer are there less intense than in many places farther north, while this elysium is yet far enough south to escape the "rigors of northern winters."

The executive committee is now to decide between the two places, and then confer with Yale...
...views expressed by our two correspondents. If this is the case, we have a right to know his opinions, and to hear his reasons for taking a different ground. The present captain, we happen to know, has given the subject of strokes a great deal of consideration. At Springfield he studied the stroke of the Yale men, and after the regatta at Saratoga he went to Philadelphia, saw both the English crews, and talked with the captain of the London Rowing Club Four. He therefore has definite opinions. A public statement of those opinions would certainly be read with...
