...last week or two. The comedy is one of Taylor's, and is, on that account, very attractive; but the "comic force" seems, to us at least, to lose its intensity and to flag in interest in some places. That a young wife, crossing the ocean alone, may make time pass pleasantly by flirting with one or two elderly gentlemen, or that some one gentleman may be tired of his wife, is not unlikely; but when all the passengers seem to have a touch of some kind of matrimonial infelicity or another, the play certainly borders upon the unreal...
...With the exception of a few peculiarities of pronunciation, which soon escape notice as the play proceeds, her conception and delivery of the part was beyond all criticism, and the character was represented with a force and impressiveness rarely seen. The support was unusually weak for the Globe, but may be accounted for by Mr. Sheridan's illness and the consequent changing of parts. Poor as it was, it hardly needs an apology, for it served as a dark background upon which Madame Janauschek's superb acting stood out with a vivid contrast. The previous evenings of the week...

...should this mode of transfer be prevented? As the system works at present, a Freshman may, by good fortune, secure for himself a pleasant room for the whole college course; while, on the other hand, an upper-class man, not so fortunate in past years, may still be forced to content himself with a cold, damp room, and bear, as best he may, his sore throats and chills. Would not the distribution of rooms be made more equable than it now is, if classes should have their choices in the order of seniority? That is, let Juniors have the first...
...Spectrum, an unpretending paper, published at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, made its first appearance just after our second number. It seems hardly strong enough to have a long life, but by careful nursing it may grow and flourish. It wisely ascribes its paternity, not to the whole Institute, but to the class of '75, thus relieving three classes of quite a burden. The best article in it is the editorial, short, well written, and so closely resembling in ideas and language the initiatory one in the Magenta, that we are forced to admire...
