...their issue of yesterday the editors of the Monthly departed from the strict letter of their rule that the leading article in each number should be written by some Harvard alumnus; but they kept to the spirit by getting Assistant Professor Cohn to contribute a short essay on Jules Grevy. Although Mr. Cohn uses English uncommonly well for a foreigner, yet his work has not the same finish which we would demand in the case of a native. Nevertheless, in spite of his disadvantages he has succeeded in giving a very readable account of President Grevy. The career of this...

It is this opinion that is unworthy of Harvard, and the question naturally arises, how it can be changed. The faculty is utterly powerless. If more strict police measures are adopted the evil will be stimulated. Is there another way than by interference on the part of students themselves?

The work this year is to be conducted on much the same plan as it was last year; the only difference being that more attention will be paid to running than was then. The crews have abandoned the old gymnasium which was not large enough for their use and are now practicing in Wood's Gymnasium, hired especially for the purpose. This arrangement not only gives the boating men more room, but allows...
...rival colleges to break the long series of victories which Harvard has won in track athletics, and we hope this fact will be appreciated by our candidates. Our efficient trainer is giving the candidates great assistance by his careful supervision and advice, and there is no reason why, with strict attention and honest training, the members of the Mott Haven team should not win again that championship which Harvard has come to consider peculiarly...
