...toast-master, Mr. Macaulay, then, after a few remarks, gave the first regular toast of the evening, "Alma Mater," to which Mr. Stetson replied. "The Class of '78" was answered by Mr. Thayer, and "The First Ten" by Mr. Blaine, President of the Institute, from '78. Mr. Kidder was then called upon to reply for "The Ladies," and Mr. Swift afterwards made some remarks in answer to the toast, "The Institute of 1770." He said that the Class of '77 had somewhat changed the society by making it less formal, and he advised the class, which was about to carry...
...authorized to remit the requisition of residence at the University to Bachelors of Arts or Science of Harvard University." We learn from this circular that there will next year be twenty-four extra courses designed especially for Bachelors of Arts; all this to be in addition to the regular elective courses, which will still be open to graduates.

The "A" divisions should be voluntary, and the member not marked...
...Junior year No. 8, and in the Senior year No. 9, are the regular courses which always have been, and it is hoped always will be taught. No. 8 is exclusively the imperial, and 9 the republican authors. The first presents a thorough picture of Rome under the Emperors, from the hands of the greatest writers of that age. The second introduces the student to Lucretius, by many regarded as the greatest Latin poet, and much talked about now for the profundity and power of his philosophical speculation. Few writers are more amusing than Plautus. A restriction with reference...
...defeat at New Haven. Notwithstanding this, they played pluckily, and could have done much better, as the game of the next day shows. For the Harvards, all praise is due Hooper - who pitched with a strained arm - for the plucky way in which he finished the game in his regular position. Thatcher caught, and Tyng's play at third was perfection. In fact, all the members of the Nine did well. For Princeton, where all played so well, it is hard to make a distinction. Although they seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with some of the Umpire's decisions, they...
