...night is pleasant, a large number of men will desire to witness the torchlight procession in Boston but we would remind any thus disposed that there will be plenty of time to attend part of the Union debate, as the procession will probably start with the promptness which is always observed on such occasions. We have no doubt but that the expectations of the officers of the Harvard Union will be fully realized and that the college will show its interest in the present state of politics by attending the debate in good numbers...
...been a decided success this year. There have been occasional causes for complaint, such as the streak of bad butter two or three weeks since, the over-flavored ice cream a few days ago and others, doubtless, that did not affect the whole hall. Only constant vigilance on the part of the directors, and a willingness to learn from such mistakes on the part of the steward, can prevent these mishaps. Accidents will happen in the best-regulated families, whether they number 8 or 800. The students do not realize what a big thing Memorial is, and how great...
...success of the hall depends to no small extent on the members themselves. The two things that have hurt the hall more, perhaps, than any others have been a failure on the part of members to make just complaints, and indiscriminate fault-finding.

One of the founders of the Union Athletic Club, he has been one of its most active and successful members. Until recently he has taken part in their games and has won prizes in almost every kind of running, jumping or throwing contest. He is not unknown to Cambridge men for at many of the H. A. A. meets he has kindly acted as timer. His timing is recognized by the National Amateur Athletic Association...
...Kirkland streets and Broadway. It was used many years ago as the "play-ground" of the students and was the first gymnasium that Harvard ever possessed. It is not known when it first came into possession of the college, but "Appleton pasture" of which the Delta was once a part was added to the college lands in 1786. A prominent graduate of the class of 1821 who has lately died, speaks of the Delta, in a book of recollections as a place where "Turkey Shooting," a very popular pastime, was engaged in by the under-graduates. An enterprising yanker kept...
