...manifested in the study of the subject. And as is almost invariably the custom they who would receive the most benefit from the study and practice derived from a thorough course in elocution, show the least inclination for such study. It is only by awakening a popular interest and enthusiasm in oratory that it can be brought home properly to the students who neglect this branch of study. They can be induced to turn their attention to it. The Shakespeare club would be well calculated to arouse an interest among the students and bring before all in a very interesting...
...meeting of gentlemen interested in the advanced study of elocution was held last evening in the rooms of Mr. Jones, instructor of elocution, in Stoughton.

The Seniors of Harvard have no right in such a procession, if they bear their intended transparency. No gentleman has the right to say or do anything...
...lamentable lack of enthusiasm which has been felt by the college in the tennis tournament this fall ought to be the means of bringing about a change in the method of conducting future tournaments. This fall the tennis association, alleging as an excuse the lack of a sufficient number of courts, allowed the tournament to be played on any courts and at any time.
