...degrades '83 in the eyes of the other Harvard students, - who they thought would admire it, - but gives the newspapers an opportunity to slander the College as a whole, and creates a wide-spread prejudice against "Harvard immorality." In conclusion, I must remind '83 that stealing signs is getting almost as unfashionable as hazing, and will never help them to become popular with the other classes...
...SERIES of papers on American student-life have appeared in Die Gegenwart. The author, Mr. Otto Gross, selecting Harvard as the representative college, calls her the oldest and most renowned of American colleges, and Yale her Tochteranstalt. These are almost the only true statements which he makes.

She gives the effect of a girl of seventeen who has just gone upon the stage. As Marguerite in "Faust" she fails almost completely. As Mignon she is a little more successful.

The stage setting and general ensemble leave much to be desired. This evening...
