...most conscientious among the members of the Faculty have long deplored the various styles of clothing worn by students. Many professors claim that they are too much confused by the diversity of costumes to be able to do full justice to the lectures. And indeed their aesthetic eye is only too apt to be offended. Here is a man with a high collar; there, another with a low; then there are students with square cuffs, and round cuffs, and no cuffs at all. One persists in parting his hair on the side; another, in parting it in the middle. Indeed...
...trousers - after much dispute - are to be of blue cashmere, without bias, to recall the unprejudiced nature of the marking system. The blending of the red, white, and blue colors is intended to be a delicate tribute to our country, and to inculcate a deep patriotism in the heart of the wearer...
...changes in the "Penalties" the most careful attention should be given by undergraduates, both because it will be for their own good, and because it will save much trouble at the office. "Warnings" have taken the place of "Private Admonitions," and "Admonitions" of "Public Admonitions," while "Parietal Admonitions" are no longer in the list to enforce discipline.

PARK THEATRE. - Of Miss Emma Abbot's "Grand English Opera Company" little need be said. Miss Abbot herself does not justify much criticism either as a singer or an actress.

She gives the effect of a girl of seventeen who has just gone upon the stage. As Marguerite in "Faust" she fails almost completely. As Mignon she is a little more successful. In the support Mrs. Seguin easily leads...
BOSTON MUSEUM. - "The Crisis," which was produced here on Monday evening, is an adaptation by Mr. Albery of "Les Fourchambault" of M. Emile Augier. It is a powerful and interesting comedy, and is constructed with much skill. The company appear to much advantage, and are strengthened by the addition of Miss Fanny Morant, who is excellent in the part of Mrs. Goring. Miss Clarke is at her best as Haidee Burnside. "The Crisis" will be continued next week, and is well worth seeing...
