...engagement of R. S. Gorham, '85, to Miss Alvine Thomas of Boston is announced...
Under "Topics of the Day" "the polished courtliness" of Harvard men is dealt with, and deplored. Another article is on our new dormitory; it is perhaps too extravagant, and has a few unimportant faults. Still, from an architectural standpoint, "Walter Hastings" is almost beyond criticism, "The Skepticism of Miss Eleaner Dean" is perhaps the best thing in this number of the Advocate.

...Boston Theatre was filled last evening at the first presentation of the "Merchant of Venice" by Booth and Mme. Modjeska. Little need be said of the work of either of these principals.

Unwarrantable liberty...

Miss Edwards is recognized as one of the most successful of those who have given study to the history of ancient Egypt. She is at present making a tour of the United States. Her lectures at Yale, Princeton and other colleges have been largely attended, and have aroused much interest. There are doubtless many men in Harvard who would be very glad if Miss Edwards would deliver a series here similar to that...
