...Index, which has now become almost as regular an institution of the college as the annual catalogue, will probably appear in the course of a week or two. It is a very different matter to compile such a pamphlet of valuable information as the Index contains, whose chief interest lies in the fact that it comprises a brief of all the athletic events which took place during the past year, together with an authentic list of all the members of the various college societies. In obtaining these names, however, much necessary trouble is experienced, as the secretaries of the different...
...action and movement tend to more and more liberated and enlarged relation to the intended conditions and elemental supply of the thing which acts and moves. There is no true sign of the divine presence in the divine care of the world than that. The Church of Christ begins almost as a Jewish institution.

J.," another proof of the extreme subtlety of freshman wit, warned all students from entering the yard...
...procession consumed about two hours in its march, going over the prescribed route with few delays. Quincy Street was aglow with lights and lanterns. In front of the President's house a platform had been built from which a large number of guests viewed the parade. Almost the whole of the line of march was illuminated by brilliantly lighted and decorated houses, bengal-lights and lanterns. The most beautiful scenes were at Beck Hall, Brattle Street and Garden Street near the old Elm. All the buildings along the route were lustily cheered, the CRIMSON cheer making itself more dear than...
