...writer is convinced that there is much work for the reformer in the field of college sports; but can our college faculties remedy an evil whose causes lie in the decline in college sentiment? Undue waste of time they can easily and properly prevent by maintaining a rigorous standard of scholarship; into the rest of the field they can hardly venture, and prohibitory legislation must fail to touch the evil, while arousing resentment. The college communities themselves must work the change; and first of all it is necessary that they be brought to see the evil. In the first place...

Nowhere else has stress been laid upon the philological study of these idioms, and the natural consequence has followed that faulty methods have been rooted out, the standard of their appreciation everywhere raised, and rich fruits garnered in their advance in academic discipline. It was this religious regard for the spirit, rather than the letter of language that lifted Germany out of the slough of despond in which all linguistic study was sunk three-quarters of a century...

Hitherto one great difficulty in the way of reform in our college sports has been that at Yale, where the athletic championship...
...Harvard Union shows 155 members this year to 126 last. The Dining Association has 740 men on its rolls. All the old law clubs are still in existence, and a new one has been founded, the Austin Club. Inspection of the records show that '84 failed to reach the standard of '83 in regard to commencement parts and honorable mentions, the score standing 118 "parts" and 112 "mentions" for '84, to 123 "parts" and 124 "mentions" for '83. As usual. The chief interest of the book centres in the records...
