...piano-forte recital by Prof. Paine in Boylston Hall will undoubtedly attract a large audience. The only objection to these concerts in past years has been the small hall in which they were held. The hall in Boylston was always crowded to its utmost, and probably will be so tonight. As the hall is a very close and uncomfortable one, we see no reason why a larger one should not be used. Such pleasant concerts as these have always been should certainly be given in a better place...
THROWING THE HAMMER.Considerable interest was manifested in the result of the throwing the hammer, as Mr. Kip, who has won this event for several years past at Harvard and whose record, 84 feet, is the best Harvard record, had broken the college record of 87 feet 11 inches, in practice.

On next to the last lap Hitchcock, who had been riding most pluckily throughout, made a brilliant burst, and succeeded in getting past Norton. The last lap was very exciting, but before its close Norton regained the lead, and won in 10 minutes 28 seconds, with Hitchcock close behind...
...solve that great problem of modern times - the marking system - rather than as a legitimate guide in the selection of courses. To remove the objection of meagreness of the elective pamphlet and as a supplement to it, the instructors in geology have been in the habit for the past few years of issuing a separate descriptive circular of the courses under their charge. This year their example is to be followed by the instructors in the departments of Greek and Latin. This circular is to be an enlargement of the sheet heretofore distributed by the Greek department, giving the list...
