...attention of every student towards what may at any time produce a far greater calamity, namely, the lack of fire-escapes in several of the buildings in the yard. This question has been agitated yearly by the students until it has become almost a by-word, but of a sudden it may turn into a ghastly sort of joke, unless the college takes some definite action in regard to it. The clamors of the students last spring did have some little effect, apparently, on the corporation, for rousing out of their lethargy they gave one or two exhibitions of patent...

President Arthur reached Washington from Savannah, Ga., last night by rail, having left the latter city at 4.15 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. He pronounces the reports of his sudden illness mere stories of newspaper correspondents, says he has not been sick a day, and that he is enjoying good health...
