...very glad to commend the effort now making for a concert by the Varsity Glee and Banjo clubs at New London on the eve of the intercollegiate race.

...twenty-third annual dinner of the Harvard Club of New York city, held on the evening of February 21, a neat compliment was paid to Hon. Jas. Russell Lowell.
