...Class Supper of the Sophomores took place at the Parker House on Friday, the 21st ult. All the arrangements of the committee seemed perfect. The banquet was spread in the room of mirrors, and nothing could be more brilliant or suggestive of good cheer than the scene presented as the company took their seats.

This change would almost double the space for apparatus on the ground floor, and ventilators and bath-rooms could be easily arranged. The Government must too well appreciate the importance of a first-class Gymnasium to allow it long to remain...
...execution, the influence of poetry which celebrates one noble act as a full atonement for a thousand crimes, and teaches, if it teaches anything, that virtue shines brightest in a setting of vice, can be nothing but injurious. We need not regret that the heroic-ruffian has lost his place in the popular heart...
