...recently completed course of lectures which has been given during the past season under the auspices of the Finance Club, reflects great credit upon the president and other members of the club who have been instrumental in starting these lectures. The course has embraced a lecture by Mr. Edward Atkinson upon a topic of interest to all students of political economy, lectures upon the great industries of iron, cotton and woolen, and a lecture by Prof. Laughlin upon the study of Political Economy. The interest which has been shown in these lectures by the large audiences which attended them, must...

He will also advise men as to their future work in the department. The whole idea of the lecture is admirable, and reflects great credit on the author of the plan.

The seniors deserve much credit for the readiness with which they acquired a new stroke and for the endurance they have shown. The races proves, to the discomfiture of many who prophesised complete failure for this experiment, that the seniors have made it a success...
...Harvard lacrosse team has been honored by the selection of three of its members to form part of the "European team" which will play abroad this summer. This is a large proportion to come from one club and throws credit upon the work, which Harvard has done in introducing this sport among students. Unfortunately the faculty has just told the undergraduates chosen that they could not go unless they would consent to be dropped a year in their college work. This they have thought it best not to do, and, therefore, Nichols will be Harvard's sole representative...
