...play that has been chosen for production this year is Moliere's "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme," one of his most amusing plays and with a large and varied caste. Many of the old members will take part, but there will still be many parts open and all members who would like to act are requested to send in their names at once to the secretary stating what character they would be a candidate for. The various parts will be assigned next week...
...crow and the blue jay, while there are several sweet singers among the non-oscines. We have about 40 good singers. English critics say that our bird chorus is not to be compared with their own. It may be true that there is no one American songster like the skylark, but England can show only 23 song birds to our forty.

Owing to considerations of distance an expense, it has been thought best not to arrange games with Haverford or the University of Pennsylvania...
...rather striking contrast to the article in the New England Magazine on Harvard Clubs and Club Life comes the announcement in the calendar of the other side of Harvard societies. Organizations like the Botanical Club and the Natural History Society also have their place in the life of the college and deserve recognition as a distinct feature of the University. The object of these clubs differs largely from that of the more purely social organizations. Their work to a great extent supplements the work of the college, giving a certain interest to study not always to be found in ordinary...
