...hear on one day that the employees of the Cambridge Railroad threaten to strike; on the next that the scholars of public schools in various parts of the country are demanding longer recesses; and on the next, as a third great blow to education, that the tennis "shacks" want higher wages. What is Harvard coming to? Each hour almost the evils of strikes seem to be closing in more seriously upon her. It is hard to say where the next blow will be.

The most noticeable loss is in the number of undergraduates in the academical department, which is offset by the rapod growth and increase in the Sheffield Scientific School. This latter branch threaten to rival, if not to supersede, the classical college, and in the dim hereafter we may learn to speak of Yale as a scientific school with a classical department attached. Compare these Yale figures with our own. The figures for 1883-84 at Harvard were 1522, an increase of nearly...
