Owing to the innumerable boards of officers required to conduct properly the no less numerous clubs, societies, and class and athletic organizations, the Harvard student is required to cast a vote for somebody or other, on an average, twice a week during the college year. Now this practice in the exercise of the American citizen's chief prerogative is a good thing, - but it is apt to become monotonous, as may be seen by the decidedly slim attendance at many of these constantly recurring elections. One sort of election, however, never fails to bring out a large vote; we refer...
With the great growth of the courses in History, the Historical Society has been brought more or less into prominence. This society, however, has never been placed on a firm permanent basis. It has varied in its work from year to year. Public lectures by prominent visitors and by the instructors have been the outward signs of its life. This year, a new plan is to be inaugurated, which, if successful, will give the society a somewhat different scope. It is now designed to have most of the work at its meetings done by the members, to give each...
...particulars Harvard may unquestionably claim superiority over all other colleges in America, in her library and in her gymnasium.

Yet the catastrophe of last night is the most serious that has be-fallen the college since our worthy yard watchman found a piece of wire-wound broomstick with a firecracker inserted in one end, and promptly reported the authorities a diabolical plot to blow up the dormitory buildings of the college. If matters do not make an immediate change for the better, it will not be many...
...influence of the three great senior societies. The impression thus conveyed is, in a degree, erroneous. It cannot be denied that the members of a society will vote for a candidate who is a member of their own fraternity in preferance to another with whom they are less well acquainted. Yet to our knowledge there has been no society caucus held, nor is there any society sate to be presented at the meeting to-night. In fact, if we are not misinformed, the constitutions of the three senior fraternities expressly prohibit any participation in class politics. We therefore urge every...
