...sons of veterans of the Charles Beck Post formed in a procession and marched to Sanders Theatre. President Lowell presided, and after the singing of "America," introduced Mr. J. F. Moors '83, who delivered the Memorial address. He spoke of civic reform, especially in Boston, and of the growing sentiment of the people in favor of the merit system instead of the spoils system. After the speech, "Fair Harvard" was sung in closing...
More nearly than any other German play, unless it is Sudermann's "Heimath," of our immediate time, "Alt Heidelberg" is a universal, almost a classic piece. Even mistrustful Paris has seen it gladly, while American audiences long since warmed to its sentiment and its humor. German it is at every turn; in its satire of the petty routine and stiff-backed etiquette of the modern Pumper-nickel that Meyer-Foerster calls Sachsen-Karlsburg; in its glimpses of the life of the students at Heidelberg; and, above all, in its two sentimentalists--the old tutor, Juettner, dreaming over the university...
...players had sense of character, carried it to the audience, and acted generally with freedom alike from self-consciousness and what in some instances was an acquired speech.

This leakage is getting to be a perennial nuisance, and it is time that undergraduate sentiment put an end to it. It is charitable to suppose that the books were removed with the intention of returning them, which is not particularly dishonest, but merely against the rules. Men wishing to take books to other parts of the building are required to sign slips for this purpose, so that the unexplained disappearance of 76 volumes means that they were surreptitiously sneaked...
...strong link in the bonds of friendship and association which should closely unite Harvard and the city of Cambridge. On the other hand, when the University so sadly feels the need of a new tank, we can not help concurring with the author of the communication in the sentiment that "charity begins at home"; but in so far as contributing to the Cambridge tank does not interfere with the prospect of a new tank for the University, it is to be commended...
