...large number of studies which have been made elective for the freshman year, necessitate of course radical changes in the rules relating to prescribed studies. Emphasis is put upon the fact that a student can take as many extra courses as he can profitably pursue. This is quite in contrast to the very illiberal policy which is in vogue at some colleges where the students are forbidden to take any extra courses...
...last round of the doubles, the Sears brothers beat Kuhn and Keep, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Philip Sears is the college champion in singles, and he and his brother hold the championship in doubles. The tournament was a great contrast to last year's, the playing being spirited throughout and the whole affair being conducted on a very prompt and punctual basis.

The scene between Brutus and Portia afforded some opportunity for delicacy of treatment, but Mr. Stevens as Portia found his task too great, and tendered an impersonation which was labored and effeminate to the last degree...
...foliage of the willows, and the tower of Memorial in the distance, all go to form a charming picture. Everything-save one-is beautiful and satisfactory to the eye; the turf is faultlessly smooth and green, the track carefully rolled; the brilliant costumes of the players are in striking contrast to the emerald lawn on which they stand; the benches are filled with radiant beauty, and everything is deliciously calm and soothing to our artistic feelings. But, while lounging in the shade under the walls of the old Pudding building, we notice that after all something is lacking...
