...judge by the crowded houses at the Globe Theatre, the attractions of form and face with which nature has blessed Mr. Henry E. Dixey are by no means on the wane.

Suffice it to say that Dixey in "Adonis," and the crowd of frisky femininity with which this artist surrounds himself are as delightsome as ever...
There is little need for comment on the foot ball dinner of last night. The enthusiasm which was shown was but the token of respect and admiration which the university feels for the eleven...
...rejoicings over the Springfield victory, we have neglected to comment on some features of the occasion which must not, however, be overlooked.

Students criticised his talk, but the unusual sight of a Roman Catholic in Appleton Chaple excited no comment. This fact seems to us worthy of attention, for it is evidence of the breadth of thought which now exists at Harvard, but which is likely to be misconstrued by outsiders. Harvard is essentially liberal in all its ideas. It is our most earnest wish to look at questions from all points of view, and in matters of religion as well as other subjects...
