...attention of all students is called to the announcement of the committee of the Harvard Union, on another page. They have announced a place where everybody who has not yet voted can do so. This arrangement is an admirable one and cannot fail to draw out a full vote from the college. It is useless to dwell on the importance of obtaining a thorough canvass, and this can only be done if the individuals who have not yet been visited by members of the committee are willing to appear at the appointed place and vote...
Such an invitation as has been given by the Young Men's Republican and Independent Club, (it would be more accurately named Y. M. Democratic C.) is certainly a most preposterous one. We say this indeed, as a Republican, but we fail to see how one of any political party whatsoever can endorse the action of that club.

The rooms where the freshman courses will be held, and also a full list of the instructors will be placed on the bulletin boards in University this morning...
...often been remarked, that the organization of our boating interests is far superior to that of the base ball or football clubs. The class crews, training for half a year, cannot fail to furnish abundant material for the university crew. To this, may be attributed, in a great measure, our success on the water. Class nines were formerly in vogue at Harvard and a few games were played for the class championship. But, as none of the nines made any previous preparation, they furnished no new men for the regular nine and awakened little interest. Now that we have...
