...action does not drown the voice of his supreme passion; and thus is avoided that fault which appears in some of Shakspere's historical plays, where the medley of sentiments and incidents is such that we are bewildered as by a rumbling and unintelligible noise. In the great tragedies, except Lear, this element, although constantly appearing as a living background for the principal figures, is kept distinctly subordinate: Othello is almost classic in its unity and continuity; Macbeth, although less compact, still turns on a single event; while Hamlet draws its variety and intricacy from the character of the hero...
...dreams. May we not hope that, in the near future, dream lore will no longer be superstition in regard to dreams; that before many years have passed we shall know so much about dreams that we may make them to order; and that the dream book will have vanished, except from the work basket of some aged country maiden of seventy years or more, or from the casket of some boarding school miss, where it will lie amid complexion powders, scented stationery and love-letters...
STANDING HIGH JUMP.The entries for the standing high jump were S. H. Fessenden, '86, H. L. Clark, '87, E. H. Rogers, '87, C. O. Lander, '86, and T. C. Bachelder, L. S.

Incurring a debt, except in some cases for extraordinary expenditures for permanent benefit, is willfully spending other people's money, hardly an honest proceeding. This is why we wish to have all unnecessary luxuries done away with. We have a debt to face in addition to the regular expenses of the present year...
...criticisms of minor points in the management of the games of Saturday may enable the officers of the H. A. A. to make the other meetings run more smoothly. First of all, there was very apparent want of activity on the part of the stewards and "ushers," except in getting in everybody's light. There was no one to summon the contestants in sparring at the beginning of each round. This made it necessary for the referee, Mr. O'Reilly to do this himself, something which we have never seen done at a winter meeting before, and hope never...
