This evening occurs an event of interest to all students at Harvard. A lecture on the peculiarities of the University, portraying scenes about college, and giving an account of student life to the outside world, would, in itself, be a sufficient attraction for the large number of students who will attend. The fact, however, that the lecture will be delivered by a member of the senior class must excite the curiosity as well as the interest of all students in the success of the event.

The Committee consists of twelve student...
...thought that the two following have never been published. His well-known disregard of the ordinary methods of crediting student's work is shown in this. One day a student came to him to ask his mark for the month. It was when recitations were taken into account and marked on a scale of eight. Professor Sophocles, after a moments thought, rather curtly replied, "It's three." Perceiving the student's look of disgust, he asked, "Would you like to know your mark for next month? Well, that's three also...
