Men are not put in the stocks to-day, as they were two centuries ago did they absent themselves from church, nor do they have their ears shorn off for professing non-or thodox faith. In the light of these great changes, it is wise that compulsion in religious matters here should have been done away with forever.

The committee do not wish to act hastily, or without the advice of the students. It is therefore expected that suggestions will be made to the committee...

The Black Hussar which is the first attraction, is not new to Boston, and so it is not necessary to enter into lengthy descriptions. It will be performed with substantially the same cast as presented at the Boston Theatre a short time...
