On November 19, Brady G. Mosher, of
the class of '96, died of typhoid fever at the
home of Mr. A. G. Chappell, of this city.
The remains were taken to Geneva, where
the funeral occurred on Tuesday, the 21st.
A delegation from the class accompanied the
remains and acted as pall bearers. Resolu
tions of sympathy have been passed by the
Union Society and by the Y. M. 0. A., of
which organizations he was an active mem
ber. He was very popular among his
friends, and his death caused sincere and
universal sorrow.
In the October number of the Bulletin of
the N. Y. Mathematical Society there is a
vigorous article by Dr. Davis on the teach
ing of elementary mathematics. He takes
as his text the innovations proposed by
those radical writers, Dupuis, Halsread and
Smith. In brief, these changes consist in
the combination of algebraic processes with
the old Euclidean methods. This combina
tion leads to wider generalizations by sim
pler means. This modern geometry Dr.
Davis approves of. "We are glad to notice
that he endorses the system of alternation of
algebra and geometry practiced in our pre
paratory department.
Considerable time has been spent by some
of the Preps boys lately poring over the old
volumes of Harper's Weekly just received at
the library. The Prep3 show that they know
a good thing when they see it, and for once
at least their example is worthy to be fol
lowed. The set contains the first eleven
volumes of the Weekly, beginning with
1857. The volumes containing the war
numbers, from '61 to '65, are perhaps the
most interesting books in the library, and
their historical value is evident. Miss Jones
secured the set for the small sum of 25.
That we were exceedingly lucky in getting
the volumes at that price will be appreciated.
A short time after the purchase of these
eleven volumes by the University a set of
six of the early volumes was advertised for
sale at 99, and a complete set of over thirty
volumes was considered worth $200 as a
very low price.
