...date of the Freshman Glee and Banjo Club concert has been fixed for April 29. This laudable custom of giving an entertainment in aid of the freshman crew is a new one. It was inaugurated by the present junior class, and the sophomore class followed in the steps of its predecessor. '90 has been not a whit behind and has worked hard and faithfully to give the public an exhibition which bids fair to surpass that of previous years.

Every member of the incoming class finds himself in receipt of an invitation from the venerable president to attend a reception at his residence. Excitement ensues; wardrobes are ransacked and set in order; lessons are hastily read...
...suits was brought up. Mr. Endicott, speaking of the class-day committee, said that the plan was not feasible, both because it would be too expensive, while the dress suits would still have to be worn, and also because it was not deemed advisable to do away with a custom so long established as that of wearing dress suits on Class Day. The plan was voted unanimously to be undesirable. The meeting was then adjourned...
