...second or third recitation, very kindly offered me the use of her notes, as I had come in a few minutes late. The result was, I was in perfect understanding with whatever was said afterwards by the professor. This little kindness was one which I should not expect from any one of the "boys," and although, I must confess, a little embarrassing at first, this was a great accommodation. Now, however, this rule is changed, and the ladies all sit together. After this it seemed nothing strange to go into the class room, take my assigned seat and go through...
...result of our game with Brown on Wednesday last has materially changed the feeling of the college in regard to the chances of the final success of the nine. At the bat they did so much better than was expected, and exhibited such fine form in the field, that they inspired great hope of a victory in the game with Yale on Saturday.

EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: In your issue of this morning you intimate that the college has not been as generous in the support of the Glee Club as that organization had a right to expect. On that very point I beg leave to differ with the HERALD. Instead of the college having failed in its duty to the Glee Club I think precisely the reverse has been the case. The Glee Club this year has been much below the standard of former years. It is ridiculous to suppose that a university as large as is Harvard cannot produce a better club...
