...some private hall in Boston. We cannot but express our pleasure in the matter, and we know that in so doing we echo the sentiments of the College. We feel certain that the gentlemen of the Committee who have so kindly given this permission will have no cause for regret, and will find the privilege in no way abused. The object is a worthy one, for the Crew needs money now if ever it did. As to the success of the performances there can hardly be a doubt, for the gentleman who has them in hand has already shown great...
...regret to announce that there will probably be no Symphony Concerts given in Sanders Theatre this year. It is scarcely possible that the necessary four hundred and twenty subscriptions will be obtained in time to make all the arrangements.

Everybody is liable to lose his temper when put in the wrong, and we look upon this sad exhibition more in sorrow than in anger...
...regret that in our last number the blame for not removing the German tutor, about whom there has been so much scandal, was laid on the Faculty, whereas the Corporation are really responsible. It is so difficult to find anybody who is responsible for anything in a college like our own that the mistake was an excusable one. We are happy to say that we have learned that strong efforts were made by a few individual members of the Faculty to obtain his removal, although the matter could not come before them as a body. Of the Corporation, however...
