...remainder or the number is by no means illuminated with the coruscations of genius. The leading story of the number, "Behind the Curtain," is a whimsical character sketch of an exceedingly prurient young man and a young lady a la mode,-at least we should judge the young man to be prurient, as the point of view is from behind a curtain in the young lady's boudoir. There is a rather vivid description of this room given in the first part, but taken as a whole the sketch reminds one of a judicious mixture of Town Topics and Algernon...
...unqualified success. The officers of the dinner were: President, Neal Rantoul; orator, H. McK. Landon; poet, D. Gray; toast-master. A. M. White; and chorister, L. S. Thompson. The oration and poem were both unusully good, and the responses to the toasts were in no way behind them. Following are the toasts drunk, with the men who responded to them: 'Varsity Crew, J. C.

An addition has therefore been made to the staff of cataloguers. Three numbers of the Harvard University Bulletin have been issued during the year. Five sets of Bibliographical Contributions have also been published...
...improve some of the facilities for under-graduate study. The college proper ought to be perfected before any attempt is made to raise the standard of the smaller institutions. We need a better general room for the Library more than anything else; the Chemical Laboratory is so far behind the times that advanced work is seriously affected; the History department demands a reference library. We might enumerate other wants, all of which are of more vital importance than original research in the Veterinary School or a professorship in some other small department. These latter things are coming in time...
...River school teams before entering Exeter in 1888. In 1889 Trafford played catcher on the Exeter nine and the next year first base on the Harvard nine. It will be seen, therefore, that he has had long training for the position he is now chosen to fill, and has behind him an unimpeachable record of hard and painstaking work...
