...appearance of a young man who went to several rooms in the yard buildings last evening asking for money to get to his home, and who was found, by a comparison of his stories, to be an imposter, suggests the need of greater watchfulness on the part of both watchmen and students. There is a rule posted in every entry forbidding peddlers, beggars, etc., from entering under penalty of arrest; but chiefly through the fault of the students this has become a dead letter. Few if any of the forbidden visitors are even deterred by the sign and the students...
LITTLE EM'LY."Little Em'ly" at the Museum is a characterization of David Copperfield, or rather of that part of the story concerning Em'ly. The play loses by comparison with the book, but has enough substance left to lend itself well to the clever treatment of the Museum Company. The Uriah Heep of Mr. Wilson is the mainstay of the piece, though the Wilkins Micawber of Mr. Boniface is full of excellent touches. Miss Annie Clark has little to do, but as usual does it artistically. The other members of the company are uniformly good with...

While the principal colleges would seize the opportunity to step into the position of leadership abandoned by Harvard, many of the smaller colleges would be obliged to lower their standard to correspond with ours, and the injury done would there by be spread far and wide. In comparison with this far-reaching moral effect, and this injury to the prestige and influence of the university, the question of whether the average Harvard graduate evolved by the arithmetical process from the numerical tables of ages shall be a few months younger or older on commencement day, seems to us unimportant...
...delivery; and the Harvard men found no difficulty in hitting him safely, although not very heavily. The Exeter nine seemed to do fair work in practise before the game, and evidently has some good material in it, if it is properly developed. The comparison of Exeter's play with that of Andover next Wednesday, will be interesting, in that it will throw some light on the outcome of the annual Exeter-Andover game...
...only will the contests prove highly exciting in themselves, but their outcome will have an indirect bearing upon the spring games of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Yale and Princeton are both represented today by men who will doubtless take a prominent part in the Mott Haven games, and the comparison of their work with that of Harvard's athletes today may serve to show a trifle the outcome of the college games this spring. The comparison certainly ought to be advantageous for Harvard. Since the games of the Boston Athletic Association last February, the Harvard men have trained very faithfully...
