...meant to convey the impression abroad that the whole system of Harvard is wrong, that from its very position the University must have a fatal effect upon the characters of large numbers of men within its walls, that the attitude of the faculty is one of connivance rather than of active warfare against vice. So far, however, from accepting what this person says of Harvard, detecting immediately the animus of the article, we find so much of exaggeration that the writer's statements become absurd. The writer speaks first of one man in twenty as belonging...
...heavy classical compositions which the ordinary person cannot appreciate, but every selection was particularly musical, and interesting. The first number was the overture "Barber of Bagdad," by Peter Conelius. It was given first in Boston three weeks ago, and has had the most favorable criticism.

White were the starters. The first quarter was rather slow, each man trying to shift the pace making onto the other. Bachelder won in 2m, 7 4-5s, with Priest second. The running broad jump was between J. P. Lee and W. N. Duane. Lee won at 19 ft., 3 1-2 in. The mile...
