...Boston Museum of Fine Arts has a plaster cast of Michael Angelo's famous statue of Lorenzo de Medici, called "II Pensieroso," from its attitude and look of melancholy abstraction. It is said to be the second cast ever made, the first having been secured by the South Kensington. Dr. W. S. Bigelow of Boston has given the museum another plaster cast from Michael Angelo - a "Madonna and Child," at Bruges. Casts from the Apollo, Centaurs and women figures discovered at Olympia by the German expedition in 1879 have been added to the fine series already in place. They...
Whatever one's final opinion may be on the matter of Harvard's difficulty with Columbia, there is no one at Harvard, we feel assured, but will resent the slurs cast upon the name of Col.

The play will be mounted in fine style in the Ann Arbor Opera House on June 26. This is the first evening in commencement, and many alumni...
...passed away, will be forgotten, can in no sense be regarded as representative. We find in this work a few of the old favorites, but most of the standard songs that are loved by the old boys of years gone by and the young boys of today, are cast aside to make room for the new and ephemeral productions of the present. The real American college song book that is to take the place of the dear old 'Carmina' has yet to come...
