HARVARD is still pluming itself upon its supposed strength in the West. The following is another sam- ple from the Harvard Crimson: An investigation of the statistics of the freshman class has disclosed some interesting results concerning Harvard's hold on the West. The tide has turned, and instead of losing west- ern support, as has been the case year by year for five years past, Harvard has gained from the West a larger number than she has had from that section since the class of '90 entered college. Last year there were only four men from west of Missouri, and this year there are eleven. But this is hardly a fair estimate of what is com- moly called the West. Taking into account the states bordering on the northern bank of the Ohio, and on the Mississippi north of and including Missouri it is seen that the support has been increasing for the past two years. 93 contributed 30 men from these states, '94 contributed 34, and- 95 con- tributed 39. With the exception of '92 no previous class has drawn more than 30 men from this part of the country. Combining these states with the far- ther West, it will be seen that '95's con- tribution from these sources is 50,while that of '94 was 38, and that of '93 was 34. 92 only contributed G0." The Crimson is completely and entirely in error in supposing that the flow of students to educational institutions is from the West to the East. The large colleges of the East exhibit a remarkable amount of self-sufficiency when they claim that all the culture, refinement and edu- cation is confined to the states along the Atlantic seaboard. They do not seem to appreciate the fact that educational institutions as large, as well equipped, and as ably man- aged as Harvard, Yale or any East- ern college have grown up within the past two decades. If figres count for anything, and the Harvard Crimson seems to think they do, they would seem to prove that the current, instead of running East is traveling westward. The Crimson says that the Western students at Harvard in '92 numbered 6; in '93 '34; in '94, 38; and in '95, 50. Thin makes a total at Harvard, in the freshmen classes for the past four years of 182. This is the total for all the West, or about four-fifths of the United States. Now look on this: At the University of Michi- gan last year there were 223 stu- dents from the Eastern states, or a territory of about one-fifth of the United States. In the face of these figures, it is difficult to see how Harvard can claim to be the educa- tional Mecca of the West. The band was a well-appreciated feature of Saturday's day of sport. It's rendition of the "Yellow and Ble'' roused the patriotism of the crowd. Prof. E. 'P.. McLaughlling, pro- fessor of Latin at Yale, has con- cluded to abolish the writing of compositions by the sophomore class. Between the enterprising NewYork firm,which furnissesssays on any required subject for $3, and a member of the class who wields a facile pen for revenue, the essay writing has become a farce.-Ex. -- ----+ ......

OPERA ItOUsE.-Over two thousand peiple witnessed the production of New York Day by Day," at this pop- ular place of amusement and evinced their delight by the wildest enthusias- tie applause. Miss Williams was the bright particular star, and was well worthy of the applause bestowed upon her. The magnificent scenery, repre- senting Harlem Bridge, the Burning Canal Boat, the Death of Mother Cant- well, the Battery in 1868, the Foot- pad's Home, caused at intervals, out- bursts of applause from the rise to the fall of the curtain, The company de- serves especial mention, every mem- ber being a feature, and their admira- ble acting was pleasing.
