...degree upon one who was deemed unfit for it, or, breaking away from this precedent, not to give it this year, and in the future only to those who were deemed especially fitted to receive the degree. It is, of course, unpleasant to mark out in this way some particular man by not conferring it, but it was getting to be a necessity, and it is not probable that there would ever come a better time than the present to make this stand. The position of the overseers, we can imagine, is that the whole system of honorary degrees, except...
...tragick cantata, "The Grasshopper," was the hit of the evening. As the first attempt of the Pierian and Glee Club together at concerted music it was full of interest and particularly creditable. The solos of Messrs. Howe, McCagg, Lilienthal, Thorndike and Easton were well given and well received. It was in this number, and in the Hymn to Odin and Image of the Rose, that the Glee Club made its best appearance.

One of the gentlemen who take part is deemed by many to be one of the best amateur actors seen in college for a number of years. We hope then, for the sake of the Boat Club, for the sake of the society which has spent so much time and labor on them, and for the sake of those...
...could have wished. Out of over two hundred and fifty blanks sent out by me but one hundred have been returned to date. Considering the fact that two hundred of these blanks were accompanied with stamped envelopes already addressed, the showing is a poor one. The freshmen, in particular, are very slow in answering this appeal; there are still sixty-six freshmen, to whom blanks were sent, who have not responded. Thus far I have sent blanks only to those who room outside the college yard and in private houses. I shall endeavor to call in person upon all those...
