Reeve's American Band of Providence has been engaged by the senior class to furnish the music for commencement week. Vocalists for the concert have not yet been selected. Owing to the lack of cooperation on the part of the under-classmen the seniors have decided not to establish a lecture course this winter. Several concerts and readings, however, will be given by private enterprise. At present sleighing, dancing and whist seem to be the favorite pastimes of "ye student." Two glee clubs...

A failure to grasp this policy led the Columbia...
...that every man in the class, whether experienced or not, who has any taste for the sport, will present himself at the appointed time. The meeting is for the purpose of organizing and of ascertaining the number of candidates. In so large a class there ought not be any lack of material, and we hope '86 will make as good showing on the diamond as she bids fair to in other athletics, and trust if she is defeated by Yale it may not be for want of endeavor...
