Pierian and Glee Club Concert.THE concert given by the Pierian Sodality and Glee Club, last week, was the most enjoyable one that has been given here for years. Both societies showed great improvement, and especially the Pierians, who seem to have succeeded in creating quite good music in place of the woful discords we have been accustomed to expect and receive from them. The society is certainly most fortunate in possessing such an efficient leader as Mr. Dodge, and it is a source of profound regret that he is a Senior and will graduate so soon...
AMONG the other reforms held in view by the College Government, we trust that an alteration and improvement of the Gymnasium holds a prominent place. The present building was erected some dozen years ago, when the importance of physical culture was just beginning to meet with its proper recognition, and when, moreover, the great increase in the number of students did not seem so near at hand as it afterwards proved to be.

...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...
...left in the far West a much-abused wife, and that she, poor lady, was about to take the lecture-stand in order to gain an honest livelihood by proclaiming to the world the crimes and cruelties of her husband. Alas! Joaquin Miller has fallen, and the place of the Popular Poet is vacant once more. For the present, we can merely conjecture in what particular way the coming poet will set at defiance God, man, or nature. That he will do so in some way we may safely conclude from the latest productions of those who aspire to hold...
