...Youth,"- a new book by Alice Brown, Houghton, Mifflin and Co., publishers,- is, to say the least, interesting reading. It is a series of letters purporting to tell the story of a boy, who, isolated from the world during his youth, finds life a bitter disappointment. The story is well told, with a tender, though sad, picturing of nature and life. The author's conception of boy-life is at times a bit strained and unreal, but more often consistent and true to nature. The style is good throughout, and in places admirable. The author excels in word-painting, which...
Harvard started off the season in a decidedly encouraging way, by defeating Tufts on Saturday afternoon by the score of twenty to nothing. Tufts was, however, so weak that it was hard to tell much as to Harvard's real strength.

As the men have only been out three days it is too early to tell anything about them, but as they are all large and strong they should develop well...
...discussion of a future policy is absurd. We can tell nothing about a scheme to be adopted later. Our question is of the present. Harvard has made this entirely a theoretical question. It is, on the contrary, practical and concrete. It should be settled at once upon conditions which exist. The question of bimetallism is no longer an open one. The evolution toward monometallism has not been natural. All the nations today are putting up with the evils of monometallism because they have given
