...chapel, last evening, Dr. Hale preached upon the importance and necessity to a moral man of a healthy body and a pure mind. The music, which was unusually good, included the anthems, "O God, have Mercy," by Calkin, and "Let not your Hearts be Troubled," by Trembath...
...still some people are so foolish as to wonder why Harvard does not win. Every afternoon, after three o'clock, Jarvis Field is for the exclusive use of the freshman team, provided it is to meet some other nine. This right was never bestowed upon the freshmen from pure philanthropy, but in order that the team should be enabled to get all the practice they could without outside interference.

Perhaps the best thing in the present number is the stanza, "A Memory: to Nightfall." It is a most delicate and pure composition. We feel that it has the inspiration of true poetry. The verses "But yesterday, I thought of Spring," by the same writer, are good, but they have not the strong originality that marks the other contribution. Under the head of correspondence is published a manly letter from...
