To meet this want, the canoe club was founded. There can certainly be no pleasanter or more invigorating sport than canoeing, and men who have once experienced the fascination of the double-bladed paddle will not be slow in joining the newly...

In all the struggles between the classics and the sciences. the importance of the study of English literature has been steadily on the increase in our various colleges. This is due of course, to many widely differing causes; but we think there is no influence so strongly at work now as the one voiced by Ex-Governor Chamberlain, that while there may be some dispute as to the relative values of earthen branches in a "liberal education...
