...Pudding Theatricals in aid of the Boat Club will take place in Boston, Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, on either April 27 and 28 or May 4 and 5, and at either Horticultural or Union Halls. The precise time and place will be announced later. Tickets may be procured the first of next week, at 4 H'y. The play will be the burlesque, "Fair Rosamond." It will be remembered that, by a vote of the Faculty, these are the last theatricals in aid of the Boat Club which can be given by undergraduates. This is, accordingly, the last opportunity...
...Zoological Museum for convenient reference in a general way to matters pertaining to the Stone Age and various geological strata, which might throw valuable light on George Eliot's genius. A chemical laboratory adjoining the lecture-room would also be necessary, in-order to assist the scientific atmosphere and aid the class in establishing suitable habits of analysis.

I write that I disapprove the present system, and you reply by asking me for money to perpetuate that system. Though I will not accept the principle that advice must be backed up by dollars and cents, and though I am not now in a position to subscribe...
...this course. It is well known that the support of the University crew will be no light matter this year, saddled as they are with debt. The money from the Freshmen will be a great help towards placing the club on a sound financial basis. From the Freshmen aid is of course expected, and this money already subscribed will go to make up the quota assessed upon the class. We have no reason to suppose that the class looks at the matter in a different light from that in which we regard it; and we can assure them that...
