PROFESSOR PAINE'S recital in Boylston last evening drew a larger number than the hall could comfortably seat. The following pieces were played: Cat's Fugue, Scarlatti; French Suite, - Gavotte and Gigue, - Bach; Sonata in D'minor, Op. 31, Beethoven; Nocturne in E major, Op. 62, Chopin; Kreislereana, Op. 16, Schumann; Characteristic Piece, Funeral March, "Welcome," Paine...
Drury was founded in 1873, on the principles of co-education. From it we gather the interesting statement that "young gentlemen can take their meals at the Ladies' Boarding Hall at $2.50 a week," and the general regulation that "gentlemen shall not visit the rooms of the lady students, nor ladies the rooms of the gentleman students." Care has been taken that young ladies and gentlemen shall not quarrel, for we read that "scuffling, noisy sports, and disorderly company" (whatever that may be) are at all times strictly prohibited. Drury is even ahead of Dartmouth in the way of reforming...
...regard to the recent action of the Directors of Memorial Hall, we do not stand in the belligerent attitude the usually cautious and circumspect Advocate has, in its last issue, seen fit to assume.

The hesitations and accidents were unusually few, and, except the decapitation of a war-steed, at which critical moment the presence of mind of Sir Guy saved the day, no serious casualty occurred. Mr. Urquhart made a very pretty girl, and Mr. Wright an imposing queen. Darnley's part was played gracefully and well, and that of the rollicking King of the French admirably taken; and in fact, all did so well that to particularize...
...past seven to a quarter past eight. By this arrangement, it is claimed, everybody will be satisfied. The steward will not be obliged to prolong the time of breakfast; the diligent can get their morning repast reasonably early; and those who go to prayers can obtain admittance to the hall after that exercise. This plan will probably be adopted and go into effect next week...
