...enough, and wonders why I am absent from recitation so much. Resolved to brace, - to go to bed at 10.30 P.M. and get up to prayers all the rest of this year. Shall not go to the theatre at all till after the "Semis." What a lot you could accomplish in life, if you wasted no time! (That's a pretty good thought. I shall jot down any others that may occur to me hereafter.) But then how tired you do get of grinding! - Must...
...have. Professor White certainly makes no such assumption; for he hopes in future to make the course a three-hour course, and to read the whole of Herodotus in one year, thus doing what those who wished to elect the course, as now given, a second time hoped to accomplish. The only reason that can be seen for the refusal of the Faculty to allow Greek 3 and English 2 to be elected a second time is that it was considered that the men who did so would have an advantage in marks over those who took the courses...

Evarts, the former winning by about 2 ft. in 10 7/8 seconds. Evarts was left at the start, and, although running very prettily, could not quite catch Stetson, who finished with some in hand. Evarts...
...many windows in the Yard to listen to the songs and glees of this Club. The Pierian Sodality is not even as well known as the Glee Club. It is true that both the Glee Club and Pierian Sodality give annual concerts in Cambridge; but that they should accomplish no more than this for the year's work does not speak well for their management. We should propose that permission be obtained to put up in the Yard, much earlier than usual, the band stand which is used every Class Day, and that concerts be given weekly by both Glee...
