...source of satisfaction to see that a good deal of interest was manifested last year in the hitherto much neglected study of Elocution. The Faculty should hasten to supply the place of Professor Baxter by some one who will keep alive that interest, as the work in this department is too much for any one man to do alone. We would suggest that Sanders Theatre be used for a recitation-room in this subject during the year, as well as for the rehearsals of the competitors for the Boylston prizes.

...boating-man, made a dinner of a plate of ice-cream and some graham bread. I was thankful even for that, and partook of the feast in silence and meditation. I arose from the table, convinced that the great evil of the Dining Association lies not so much in the fare and in the preparation of it, as in the waiters. The two with whom I have been made acquainted, and all whom I have noticed, are in a chronic state of ill-humor, and sadly need...
