...Brevity column will be found a part of the new plan proposed by the Committee on Honors and Honorable Mention. Its aim is, by a system of stars, graded degrees, and the like, to distinguish more clearly the nature of the work done by each man in his college course, and to give those men who have not gone in for the regular Honors, nor have had a high general average, some distinction for their ability and proficiency in some one or two studies...
...every one knows by this time, has sent a reply to the H. U. B. C. relative to a race with Harvard next summer, stating that it will be impossible to keep a University crew in training up to August 1. The text of the letter will be found in another column. The reasons given for declining the proposal are that the Oxford term ends early in June, that the 'Varsity men do not keep together after the inter-'Varsity race in February or March, and that it would be very difficult to persuade them to keep in trim through...

Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon they played "Rumplestiltskin," a musical burlesque founded on Grimm's well-known fairy-tale. Mr. Sprague, as the indigent old king, proved to be the central figure, and sang several comic songs in that irresistible manner so peculiarly his own. Mr. Austin, as the festive miller, presented a pleasant picture of rustic jollity, and was very successful in his two songs. Mr. Twombley played and dressed the part of the miller's wife excellently, and his song in the prison scene was received with great applause. Mr. Bowen as the Princess found rather small scope...
