...Apollo and Banjo Club of Yale is to give a concert at Newton on the 4th of next month. This organization is entirely distinct from the Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs and has no direct connection with them, as any one reading the posters announcing the concert might have inferred. The Appolo Club is a university organization and has been established but a short time. If one can judge from current reports of its success, however, the concert at Newton will be a good...
...popular and successful sport than it does this spring. The members of the eleven of last year who are still in college are doing all in their power to train new men for the team. Ellis, Markoe and R. D. Brown have each taken an hour in which to direct the practice of the new men and to give them instruction in batting and bowling.

The university is designed for the education of all, regardless of race or color...

Shakespeare, Scott and Goldsmith-these are great names, but to have an adequate acquaintance with English literature one must know the works of many other writers. A great educational institution ought to direct the attention of its students to Milton, for example, and to Coleridge, Wordsworth, Byron, Thackeray, Dickens, Pope, Dryden, Sterne, Burton, and some dozens besides...
