...Titus was formerly a member of the class of '80. He occupied a position during the last part of his college course which brought him in contact with students of all classes, and the strict integrity of his character was well known throughout the University. He was an able scholar, having done two years' work in one and passed from the Sophomore to the Senior class. He had laid well the foundation of a useful life...
...chief interest in the coming class races is at present divided between the Senior and Junior crews, who, as far as can be judged, are very evenly matched. The Sophomores are organizing an eight, to be sure, and expect to take part in the contest; but they were so unlucky in the spring, and have begun to train so late, that they will have hard work to keep up with '80 and '81. The Freshmen, of course, are too inexperienced to take part in the race on the 25th...
...doubts that a so called science of religions, or that the history of the development of theological doctrines and religious sects, may be taught according to a purely historic method, - that is, in a non-sectarian manner.

...well acted by the Museum company. Mr. Warren comes first with his impersonation of Peponet, a rich old man with two daughters, whom he wishes to marry as advantageously as possible. The plot of the piece turns on the complications which arise with their suitors. Mr. Barron fills the part of Edgard satisfactorily, and Mr. Wilson, as Bassecourt, is excellent. Saturday night, "The Two Orphans" will be given again; and next Monday, "Papa Perrichon," a most amusing comedy, will be revived, together with a new comedietta, also translated from the French by Mr. Sullivan, entitled "A Cigarette from Java...
BOSTON THEATRE. - The "Ideal Pinafore" is still running to large houses. Miss Adelaide Phillips is very successful in the part of Buttercup, and sings the music with good effect. Mr. Fessenden, as Ralph Rackstraw, does not come up to Tom Karl, who took the part last spring, but nevertheless fills it satisfactorily. On the whole, it is, without doubt, the best representation of "Pinafore" that has been given in America. Bartley Campbell's new play of "My Partner," which has been very successful in New York, will shortly be produced. Next Monday evening, "Fatinitza" will be revived...
