...this connection we desire to commend the new arrangement for seating at the chapel. In the past only the seven front rows have been reserved for college men, and sometimes not all of these. The result has been that the students have never been sure of obtaining seats. The townspeople like the chapel services, and have attended in such numbers as practically to fill the chapel before the students begin to come in. Time and time again men have gone to the chapel on Sunday evening only to find that they must stand in the rear or accept very undesirable...
...very glad to be able to commend the management of the Harvard Rowing Club for their work. The boat house was opened to the college something over a year ago, and since that time the use to which it has been put by the college has been steadily growing. From present accounts the affairs of the club are in a very prosperous condition; and the boat house bids fair fully to accomplish the purposes for which it was given to the college-to furnish more men a chance to exercises on the river and in this way to strengthen...

It was retained, however, at the next Commencement exercises. Now it has lost one of its chief strongholds in the quinquennial catalogue, and to replace it by English in the Commencement exercises would be a consistent...
...first week of the "City Directory" at the Tremont theatre has passed away amidst the greatest hilarity. There has never been seen in the city a brighter, jollier, or more commendable farce comedy; as for the company, it is one of the best seen in Boston this year as the names promised and the players' efforts have fulfilled. It is well worth while to commend such a play as The City Directory. The next is its last week. The next attraction will be the charming comedienne, Miss Rosina Vokes, who will for her opening bill give three new plays...
