...Social Question: Francois Curel and M. Antoine's Theatre" was the subject of the sixth French lecture yesterday afternoon. The lecture dealt with the history of the small theatres that have sprung up in response to the efforts of young authors who are trying to gain a reputation. Of these theatres the chief are the Theatre Antoine, Theatre Libre, Gaiete Montparnasse and Menus Plaisirs. For the fifteen years in which these theatres have been in vogue many popu ar plays have been represented there, such as "L'Evasion," by Alexander Villiers; "Le Pain du Peche," by T. Aubanel; "Rolande...
...large proportion come from the large and strong schools. It is almost impossible to formulate any one set of examinations which will satisfy the requirement of all these colleges and apply with equal justice to the various classes of men divided among them.

Their feelings were expressed by the CRIMSON editorials which charged that those who had been considered responsible for the little clique's disappointment had betrayed the University for the sake of private gain.

...percentage of 41 8-10 of the whole class. In 1894 the entering class consisted of 567 members, with 270 from states other than Massachusetts. The percentage of outsiders in this case was 47 6-10. So far the statistics seemed satisfactory enough, showing as they did, a gain of nearly 6 per cent in the outside representation of the University. Going a little further, however, I discovered that of the 692 men who entered in the fall of 1899, only 321, or 46 3-10 per cent, came from without the state. Here was a decrease...
