Very few Harvard graduates have chosen the stage as a profession. Therefore, we all watch with much interest the fortunes of Mr. George Riddle. In the character of Oedipus, he found a part which suited most admirably his talents and his previous training, and all who saw the wonderful representation of the Greek tragedy in Sanders Theatre will never forget the marvellous impersonation of the young elocutionist. Mr. Riddle has since met with much success as a reader. Many of his Harvard friends will be present at the "first night," next Monday evening, and we trust that the "Earl" will...
...Legend of Chocorua" we are glad to welcome among college writings, for it is an attempt at something different from and higher than the usual class of literature. It is after the style which made Hawthorne famous in his short tales; but, to use an old saw, we regret to say, it is a long way after.

When the voice of duty is no longer heard...
...said: In former years, treachery has been extremely prevalent among the Indians. It was their mode of warfare to fall upon an unarmed band of men and massacre the entire party. Originally they did this as the only means of getting back their country from the Whites. When they saw the hopelessness of their task, they were won over by the specious promises of the white men to care for and feed them. Now they are becoming more civilized and like to see their children enjoying the advantages of that education which is denied themselves on account of their...
