...broken out in Europe that may involve most of the great powers. In view of its importance, many are anxious to know its real and pretended causes. But the difficulties in the way to this knowledge are great: some of the causes - perhaps all - have their origin in the history of the Ottoman Empire and of Russian interference, while at least one cause dates back to the Latin Conquest of Constantinople in 1204. Since the subject is so faintly understood, if one of our professors of history would kindly give a lecture, open to the University, on the causes...
...MEASLES must have done a rushing business down at Harvard, otherwise there would not have been much occasion for that enterprising undertaker to start a new coffin-warehouse right opposite the College. Yet the evil is over, but an epidemic worse than measles has broken out. We refer to the baseball and regatta business, which now monopolizes every available corner of the Crimson and Advocate.

If the number of signatures amounts to three hundred and fifty, - about the number now at the Hall, - the Association will go on, otherwise it will be broken up. A dissolution of the Association would without doubt be a great calamity; the price of board would immediately rise in all the boarding-houses in Cambridge, and many men would be forced to pay a price which they could but ill afford. To avert such a disaster...
