The programme speaks for itself, embodying as it does the great works of Rome, Italy, Greece, and, last of all, France. The readings are one hour long, and consist of translations, with what few introductory and explicative remarks may be necessary for a full understanding of the subject, and offer one the best possible opportunity to renew his acquaintance with some authors, perhaps neglected of late, or to make fresh acquaintances in new fields.

We have little faith in the efficacy of the legendary Bab-cock Extinguisher at any hour in the night in the proctor's room at another part of the building; we even doubt if the new fire-ladders would be on hand promptly, not to say well managed; and the leisurely way the Cambridge Fire Department proceeds to a fire inspires us with no confidence...
