...experience of the past two years has shown the impossibility of conducting the Anderson School upon the plan originally intended. The Trustees find themselves at the end of the means at their disposal. To enable them to carry on the school, it is proposed to charge a fee of fifty dollars for the season, and they hope that a sufficient number of pupils can be secured to warrant them in going on. Even with the proposed charges there will be a considerable deficit (as was the case last year) to be met by the friends of the Penikese School...
...development has another candidate for our interest and favor in the Athletic Association. Last season this association was only in its promising infancy, but now comes before us as an organization ready to do a manly work in supplementing the physical culture of bat and oar.

Mr. Hooper was most imposing as Gesler; and Mr. Dumaresq a most graceful young Tell. The bear performed with wonderful zoological accuracy, his conception of the part being most artistic. In fine, from the first chorus to the tragic denouement, the audience was in a continuous ripple of laughter, with frequent...
HARVARD seems to have been thinking of the advantages of a cram week. It has existed here for years, and has proved itself a useful respite from the hard work of the latter end of the term; and we do not think it so great an incentive to "cramming" as some would suppose, for we know from experience that very moderate study during that time is followed by better examinations than indiscriminate "boning." - Acta Columbiana...
