...here I must bring to an end this long account of Boswell's love affairs, for he is no longer the same man. We hear the same voice after this, but it is cracked, and the merry ring is gone. The words no longer amuse us; they grow pitiful. It seems unkind to laugh at the lonely old fellow as he flits about his former haunts, only to find new faces and unkind greetings on every hand. We have laughed at his follies; now, when the folly begins to lose its mirth in sadness, we had best avert our eyes...

Not withstanding the crowded condition of the gymnasium, the meeting was conducted, in the main, in a satisfactory way, with the exception of a few minor details, which will doubtless be remedied before the meeting of Saturday next. The sparring...
...dinner committee has secured the Quincy House for the Junior Class-dinner for Friday, March 20th, at 7.30 P. M. Unless 50 names are secured by Monday, March 16th, the dinner will have to be given up, as the Quincy House refuses to give us a longer time. The price will be $2.00 per plate. The committee earnestly request every '86 man who can, to sign at once, at Bartlett...
