...Library, he would be surprised either at the apparent present completeness of the Library or else the poor taste shown in the selection of the books recently added. Probably the latter phenomenon would engage his attention; for although in a large university like this books of every description are sure to suit the tastes and needs of at least a few men, yet were he to inquire for some of the standard books of reference he would find but one copy, which alone has to serve for the constant use of a large number of men. In courses in history...
...gloomy. I thought of my degree and the chance I had of obtaining it. I hastily reviewed in my mind the three years I had already gone over, and thought how many mistakes I had made. Why had I not chosen different electives in many cases? "To be sure," said I to my chum, "the elective system is a fine thing, but one does not always know which is the best (i. e. the easiest) course to pursue."

If such tickets were issued, to hold good for two weeks, they would be eagerly bought at Christmas also. It is a pity that something of this sort is not done. The main question probably...
Harvard was now kicking with the wind, and our friends were expecting a sure victory. The ball, however, remained in the middle of the field, Princeton playing a stronger game, and our team seemingly becoming slack in their work. At last, Cutts and Dodge of the Princeton team got the ball, and by some capital running and passing, Cutts carried it directly behind our goal. It was brought out, and Cutts, by a fine place-kick, lifted it over the crossbar, thus securing the first and only goal for Princeton...
