...meeting of the Board of Overseers was held yesterday morning at 50 State Street. President E. Rockwood Hoar presided, and in the absence of Dr. McKenzie, Dr. Samuel Green acted as secretary pro tempore. The Board confirmed the election of Alexander Agassiz as a member of the Corporation to fill the vacancy made by the death of Professor Gurney. The arrangement of the details of the celebration of the coming two hundred and fiftieth anniversary occupied the remainder of the session, lasting two hours and a half...
...class of '90 is to be congratulated upon the orderly manner in which their class meeting was conducted yesterday afternoon in Boylston Hall. The class officers which were elected to represent '90 appear in every way qualified to fill satisfactorily their new offices.

The present senior class have seen many changes at Harvard since their entrance as freshmen, and it is said that the present year will witness a greater change than any yet inaugurated, - the abolition...
...only just to say that this interest has been in a great measure the direct outcome of Mr. Jones' work. The resignation of the permanent instructor will undoubtedly act as a serious drawback to the work in elocution for the future. It will be almost impossible to fill Mr. Jones' place, as he is to-day ranked with Hibbard, Cunnock, and Churchill, as one of the foremost exponents of vocal expression. John McCullough and Mary Anderson studied with him, and it is understood that many flattering offers have successively been made to induce him to leave Harvard and give...
