Those of your readers who are intending to study abroad, and especially at Paris, will, I am sure, be glad to learn of a movement which was started more than a year ago, and which has taken what we believe to be a permanent and a useful shape. The movement is one for receiving, giving information to, and introducing students who come from foreign ports to study at Paris. We hope, however, that the beginning at Paris may end in a truly international relation among the Universities of all lands, and may thus be helpful to students in any foreign...

...Mott Haven team was in excellent condition, and were looked upon as sure winners; but there were many surprises and some hard luck.

There seems to be a prevailing impression, not only that Harvard will win, but that she does not need to work exceedingly hard to do it. As a matter of fact Yale is about as sure of five first prizes as any contestant in an athletic meeting can be sure of anything. This is taking it for granted that Sherrill will run. He may be counted on to win the one hundred and the two-twenty yards dashes. Yale is also practically certain to win first...

...that left very little to be desired. Bates fumbled a grounder in the first inning and Dickinson another rather difficult one in the sixth, but with these exceptions the fielding of the team was perfect. Whenever one of Morrill's men got a base he was sure to be thrown out before he came home. Only one man scored, and only one was left. Bates watched the base like a cat, and whenever Cobb had a chance the ball went down to second with great speed and accuracy. But the prettiest part of the game was Hovey's playing...
