...Alumni Association of Harvard College is working through its executive committee so to reconstruct its constitution and rules as to make it an efficient organization to handle questions, such as the better arrangement and management of Commencement, which it is impossible to deal with under the present constitution. Among the changes suggested are the following...
Professor Sumichrast lectured last evening in the Fogg Lecture Room on "The Seats of the Government during the French Revolution." He stated that the object of his series of lectures was to give a view of the Reign of Terror in Paris not usually taken by historians, and to reconstruct the setting of the scenes of that terrible period.

The report in a New York paper that Mr. Sherwood was the author of "Fair Rosamond" is not so far wrong after all, for he has rewritten it almost entirely, and those of us who have ever attempted to reconstruct a single scene can, in a measure, estimate his labor. He has, however, as a recompense for his trouble the common assent that the dialogue in "Fair Rosamond" is uncommonly clever. It was very gratifying to receive the cordial support of the Columbia papers, and all of us who are interested...
