...then, quite possible for all to read well. The next question is, whether good reading should be enforced in the recitations. Professor Child's elective in Shakespeare is made as instructive as his enviable reputation would lead one to expect. He teaches many things which those unfamiliar with the subject could not find out by themselves, and does his best to impart to the students his own evident interest and enthusiasm; but as he himself acknowledges, he takes no pains with the reading, which accordingly is weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable beyond description...
AFTER many days, the question of the Freshman race with Cornell is happily settled. The crew is now in fine condition, and since a positive decision has been reached, the subscriptions to pay their expenses have increased daily.

Even the strongest constitution and the most faithful exercise will...
...come now to the consideration of an oftrecurring question, Does the Glee Club, as an exponent of music at college, sing the songs that its friends outside like best to hear? Even granting that the kind of music the Club now attempts is not too difficult, ought it not to confine itself exclusively to real college songs, - songs that breathe in every note the spirit of our life at Harvard, with all its picturesque manners and quaint customs? I think that we can all see the justice of this question. If our friends come to hear a college glee club...
