...another column we publish a letter which has reference to the recent action of the Faculty in depriving a considerable number of men of the privilege of repeating English 2. The fact that entirely different plays of Shakspeare are read would seem to make it as independent a course as the second year of Greek 8 or 9 ; but the claims of the English language and literature are comparatively slight in the eyes of certain instructors. We do not think that our correspondent puts the case too strongly. The fact that the list of electives were handed in four months...
...publish in another column a letter from a correspondent concerning a recent editorial article in the Harvard Echo, - a letter which we do not think is open to the charge of misrepresentation or malicious exaggeration.

Harvard's entry list is large this year, and we can confidently expect to see our representatives carry off more prizes than have ever before been brought back to Cambridge from an Intercollegiate Field Meeting. It is to be hoped...
THERE has also been a universal desire expressed to have this year's changes in the Lawn Tennis rules placed before the lovers of that game. We therefore publish all the additions to, and changes in, the rules of last year, which were made last March, under the auspices of the three most prominent English clubs, in the hope that they may prove of assistance to the daily frequenters of Jarvis and Holmes. They are as follows...
