...School of Architecture, and the Boston Architectural Club. The winning drawing,--"A Memorial Monument to a Great Playwright," with the others will be on public exhibition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the rest of this week. At a time to be announced later a general criticism and review of the deliberations of the jury, the committee on Education of the Boston Society of Architects, will be given for the benefit of the students taking part...
...York Evening Post, in a recent editorial pointed out that there has been a marked decline during the last few years, in the amount and quality of the literary output from the colleges. Things have changed since Bryant published his "Thanatopsis" in the North American Review. Almost every other department of college activity has seen a marked rise in efficiency, and there is no reason why this field should be left undeveloped.

The last appears to miss in the phrase "the new intoxication" an implied criticism of all religion that it partakes of a kind of divine phrensy not reconciled to sober reason...
...article, "Mr. Higginson and the Boston Orchestra," which is a review of a book by M. A. DeWolfe Howe '87, "The Boston Symphony Orchestra; an historical sketch," Owen Wister '82 shows a much better sense of the fitness of things than he did in his stroy Philosophy 4, by which he is known, and I fear unfavorably, to most undergraduates. His style is intimate and lively and his enjoyment of the book in question, and of books and music in general so keen and so apparent that we can almost forgive him for his college story...
