Much comment has been made by instructors and the college press about the inconvenience caused and time lost when students do not hand in their blue-books promptly. That this is true we do not doubt, but it must be added that the students are not the only ones who cause delay. In a certain examination yesterday morning, the papers were not distributed until twenty minutes past the hour. This delay was not caused by the inspection of the books of men who came in late, but by the non-appearance of the instructor. Let us hope that...
...more regard to the accessories of a piece. We advise our readers to see this play, for it marks an important era in the local history of the drama. The acting of Mr. Riddle, Miss Cayvan, and indeed of the whole cast, is excellent." The general opinion of the press throughout the country seems to be that the Greek play at the Globe is a success.

Let the class of '85 show themselves gentlemen, at least, as much as the upper classes, but let not their "dignity" and faintheartedness prevent their trying to make their college days what they should be, the pleasantest part of their...
...theatre in a body, and making the class and the college the subject of the customary long editorial in the Boston papers, on the "gang of ruffians, presumably from Harvard," "Harvard roughs," etc. For this '85 deserves the hearty thanks of the college. We never before knew the Boston press to refrain so long a time - five months now - from venting its indignation on Harvard students. But while '85 deserves to be commended for the general quietness of its members, it needs a word of warning in regard to its athletic prospects, and the pecuniary support of its nine...
