...difficult for a Harvard man of today to call up a picture of the college life of half a century ago. Of course, a batch of picked men, interested in preparing for life, will be like another body with the same interest, though half a century parts them. But the methods of study are quite different now from what they were between 1830 and 1840; and the great increase in the number of students brings a hundred changes. The Cambridge of that day was much more distant from Boston than is that of today; for a regular line, even...
...United States by constitutional amendment. Articles on both sides of the question may be found under "Harvard Union" in the English alcove.

The hall made singing difficult on account of its poor acoustics. Mr. Longworth was not able to accompany the party farther than Cincinnati. His place was taken by Mr. Willard who sang a beautiful tenor solo...
...evening. The Odeon was crowded to its utmost capacity by people who found little fault with the programme. Swarts, '88 and Longworth, '91, both of Cincinnati, were given solo parts ; the former sang his old favorite "The Capture of Bacchus" and the latter rendered on his violin the difficult adagio from Viotti's Twenty-second concerto. The great hit of the evening here as in St. Louis and New York was the college song, "Imogene Donahue" with solo by Lockwood, '90, and the "Darkey's Dream" by the Banjo Club. In regard to the Glee Club we quote...
