...from which the final selection will be shortly made. At all events, it has been decided that there shall be three performances with two different casts, and on each occasion there will be given a farce and a burlesque. The Glee Club will sing between the acts, and thus add another attraction to the theatricals and form an additional element of their success. We hope certainly that undergraduates will not be satisfied with securing seats for themselves, but will aid as much as possible in placing tickets among their friends. The tickets, we believe, will be ready...

...chuckling at his triumph over me, is an unfeeling brute. His victory is not a fair one. He does not consider that while he has been grinding at that dull Greek, I have been enjoying some English classic that is none the less profitable because it will not add five per cent to my Greek mark. Indeed, if I should grind continually on my electives, I might score better marks; but at what a cost! What progress should I make in the much-vaunted "general culture"?
