D., of John Hopkins University; the anniversary exercises of the law school, with an address by Justice Matthews of the United States Supreme court, on "The Judicial Power of the United States;" the Yale-Harvard championship base-ball game at the Yale field; the Glee Club concert at the Hyperion; and at the same hour, the anniversary exercise of the Sheffield scientific school in North Sheffield Hall...

Several men were waiting for a court, but were evidently too courteous to take the one in question. This sort of thing continued until...
