...rule, good, - much better than that given him at his last visit. Mrs. Barry's Portia was a quiet, lady-like performance, erring, if it erred at all, on the side of mildness. The characters of Bassanio and Antonio were also well sustained, and Mr. Maguinnis deserves much credit for his rendering of Launcelot Gobbo. The mounting of the play was perhaps a little better than usual, and quite outshone the venerable scenery that has done duty at the Boston Theatre as long as any one can remember, and probably a good deal longer.

From this point to the winning stake he gained steadily on Weld, and crossed the line some half-dozen lengths ahead. The winner deserves great credit, both for the good rowing he showed and the pluck he exhibited in entering a race against a man whose previous record as a single sculler has been so good...

The playing of our out-fielders was up to their highest standard, and the rest of the Nine did themselves credit.

Those who fill the position not only represent the students here, but also are held as representatives of the University, in a certain sense, by other universities and colleges; hence, to do credit to it needs not only good literary ability, but straightforward manliness, sound judgment, and integrity." In a class election, with Sophomore societies and Sophomore cliques in the field, we doubt if all these qualities would be kept in view...
