After much delay, the dinner committee of the sophomore class has decided upon a date for the class dinner, Saturday of the present week. It is, perhaps, needless to urge '87 to go to the dinner; they will go without urging; but the sophomores should remember that they must sign the book at once or else the committee can form no idea of how many are going, and their plans cannot be perfected until the last minute, an inconvenience which only men who have had experience on such dinner committees can appreciate. The sophomore class dinner is the first...
...Yale crew, with six old oars in the boat, has been upon the water for some weeks. Our nine has not as yet played a single match game, while other nines in the league have been getting practice by playing against the best professional teams. It is needless to point out the lesson to be drawn from this state of things.

...soloist was Mr. Winch, and it is needless to say that he has not lost the place in the hearts of lovers of music which he has held so long. His efforts last night received very warm demonstrations of approval, which they thorougly deserved. Singing of such artistic merit, of such genuine and thoroughly sympathetic feeling is very refreshing to hear. His selections were in themselves of great interest; a barcarole by Gounod, captivating in its rhythmic swing and fine harmonies, of which the spirit was admirably caught by Mr. Winch; a quaint and charming old melody of Purcell...
