...that my preparatory years were devoted exclusively to the study of the Classics. Kuhner and Harkness were my constant companions; and in the light of their wisdom my love for the ancients found being and growth. It gives me pleasure to recall the fact, that at my admission examination, though I located Manilla on the coast of Mexico and Mt. Shasta in Hindostan, I was able to give correctly the location of the Bosporani and the Cyziceni...
...work of Grecian literature. Its chastity of style, the spirit in which it was written, cannot fail to win the admiration of scholars through all time. Of the author's ability I am convinced; and since the concession of his humor is hereditary, I am obliged to acknowledge that, though I candidly believe that if the inhabitants of the moon - hypothetically speaking - were provided with an edition of Josh Billings, they would be fully as capable of appreciating its humor as we are that of Aristophanes; and this with no disparagement either to the latter or Mr. Billings.

...Harvards won the toss, and after "skunking" their opponents were themselves served in like manner, though Annan secured his first base by a fine hit. The next two innings added nothing to the score; but in the fourth the line was broken, and each side scored one run, without, however, earning it.

The tournament, coming to a close on the day of the Regatta, will furnish another attraction for Springfield that week, while the large number that will attend insures all the clubs against pecuniary loss. Though the Freshman Nine is, as yet, far from organized, they played a game with the Boston Juniors on Fast day and showed much individual good play. The defeat on that occasion may perhaps be excused when we consider Captain Perry's accident, and the fact that the composition of the Nine...
...most savage manner. Its scathing criticism on an account of the Boating Convention in our last issue had for its object, no doubt, the utter annihilation of the Magenta. Still, we feel in duty bound to present No. 7 to our readers, and will here state that, though the article was necessarily written in great haste, our opinions in the main are still the same; and we regret that our space will not allow us to explain and answer this week. The Anvil's own sportive account of the Convention is scarcely free from a certain "one-sidedness" that...
