Boston Theatre. - Miss Ada Gray, although not a great actress, is perhaps one of some power as is exhibited particularly in East Lynne; at times she rises to the heights of real pathos, but at others where the part requires case of manner, she falls woefully short. The other members of the company, with the exception of Mr. Kiddre as John Dill, seem to have not the first elements of dramatic ability. Their only idea of by play seemed to lie in picking up a book off the centre of the table and rapidly flirting over the leaves...
...meeting last evening, some doubt was felt by the members of the committee as to the proper manner in which the student celebration should be conducted. An entire day is to be occupied by student exercises, and great care must therefore be taken in preparation.

Well, the most exciting game the association ever chronicled is over, and after our wild rejoicings...
...conduct of celebrations is now in the hands of the students. Let the students prove themselves men. If opposition to the desire of some to build fires must be shown, let it be done in as gentlemanly a manner as possible. But insomuch as the students are themselves responsible, each man ought to feel his responsibility, and look to no other man as his leader in a matter of purely gentlemanly conduct...
