...Skin and its Functions - The Importance of the Bath," was the subject of Dr. Sargent's lecture yesterday. The lecturer first described in detail the different layers of the skin and the important work performed by each. The outer part of the skin exerts a protective force, doing the double duty, by its power as a non-conductor, of keeping out the cold and preserving the vital heat in the body. Below the protective layer comes the glandular or secretive tissue, under which lies the vascular, and farthest from the surface, the nervous fibre...
...Boston paper chides the college papers of Harvard and Yale for the supposed part they have taken in the recent prolonged negotiations for a race between the two colleges. This charge we consider it a duty to ourselves and (if we are permitted) to our esteemed contemporaries, to deny. To the best of our belief far more, proportionately, has appeared in the public press in the way of announcement and more or less partisan comment on the proceedings than in any of the college papers. Indeed, it has been principally the outside press which, with perverted enterprise, has perpetually dragged...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Although the year is nearing its end, the senior class have as yet made no arrangements about admitting freshmen to the exercises around the tree on class day.

The arrangement at that time was that the freshman class were to be excluded from the tree unless they won a game of base-ball with Yale. This arrangement is a similar one to the "fence" plan at Yale. But the propriety of such a rule here...
...meetings next month. It is of prime importance that no more seats should be sold than the reserved section can accommodate. Although it is impossible to reserve special seats, it seems that the benches might be numbered and the tickets marked so that a man should know that a part of some particular bench is reserved for him. If this seems impracticable, the seats might be divided into plats or sections, which can be referred to on the tickets. To avoid dissatisfaction the principle of "first come first served" should hold in the sale of tickets...
...nature of the exercises is very simple. There is reading of the Scripture, followed by a prayer by a professor appointed to take charge of the services for the day. This is followed by declamation by members of the junior class. The exercises on the part of the students are more varied. They read, study, talk and do any thing they may please, until some few are selected and made an example of. Then there is a lull for a few days, but soon the disorder becomes worse than ever. The rules in regard to attendance are very strict...
