...FIRE in one of the College buildings is something often talked of, but seldom seen. Our experience this week puts us in condition to consider understandingly our position in regard to such occurrences. What we have seen is this: A fire, caused by some defect in a chimney, breaks out an hour before noon; the two fire-extinguishers kept in the building are produced and found utterly useless; the city fire department is called upon, the building is drenched with water from top to bottom, and, after three hours' work, the flames are extinguished. The manner in which the fire...
...EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON:-I HAVE seen it stated, in more than one paper published at other colleges, that the Crimson and the Advocate are wonderfully fond of vaguely hinting that Harvard is older and larger than any other college in the country, that her system of instruction is unapproached, and that altogether there is nothing in the land to compare with her.

Her solo, "It is the Sabbath morning," was exceedingly well sung, although its connection with the plot was not very apparent. It was very much regretted that so little was seen of the Kinchen; his very appearance was the signal for a roar of laughter. The part of Manrico, the troubadour, was well acted and well sung. There was more "unostentatious agony" about his costume than travelling musicians of the present day are apt to assume. Ferrando and Ruiz also were distinguished...
