...dead rebellion lingered noticeably in the air. There have been, from time to time, other unpleasant outbursts. White cloths were put upon the tables, meal tickets were provided, young women were procured as waitresses; all to no good. Men have continued to hurry from the hall with anxious looks, crying wildly that the butter was after them. Last week, another Harvard tradition fell.

Reading with great interest your account, in the Mar. 2 issue, P. 16, col. 3, of the woman who died, at 40 pounds, of ossification I am anxious you should know of a similar, perhaps, case.

He insisted, "It will be of very great advantage, both to the theatre in Boston and to the CRIMSON. Nothing is a better test of literary ability than the task of criticising a play. The CRIMSON will be the gainer by a number of telling criticisms, the stage by a better knowledge of undergraduate likes, and the student, winner or not, will sharpen his critical power...
