The report is, on the whole, of a gratifying nature, showing, as it does, an increase in the number of the students in almost all the departments of the University. In a later issue we shall give brief summaries of the reports of the treasurer of the University, and of the Deans of the several professional schools...
Last evening the first regular meeting of the re-organized Art Club was held in its room at Grays. Almost all the new members of the club were present. After a few moments spent in conversation, President White called the club to order. The new constitution was discussed and a number of motions relative to the government of the club were passed.

Trunks of all sizes and all varieties were there; and here came the only sad thought of the day. We almost wept in pity when we thought of the sorrow in the college when the day for final packing up came. Our sadness soon passed away, however, for at the next moment we were again in the corridor, and for the next two hours were talking Wellesley, Harvard, Athletics, Prayers and Greek. How much...
