...excellent performances to pass without more than casual mention. The opening play on Friday night was "The Laughing Hyena, "in which the characters could not have been more suitably cast. Messrs. Clark, Bowditch, Shaw, and Dumaresq were all that could be desired in their several parts. Then followed the somewhat ancient, but still interesting "Naiad Queen." Several new songs were introduced, which were very acceptably rendered by Mr. Szemelenyi and Mr. Devens. The "hit" of the evening, however, was made by Mr. Thomas, whose Seneschal was as good a piece of amateur burlesque acting as we have ever seen...
...reporters find their formulae most useful. Here the subject is so simple, and the calls for such notices so frequent, that many of the largest journals have issued printed blanks to their reporters, simply requiring to be filled out in accordance with circumstances. Such a blank form generally reads somewhat as follows...
...slowly, for which, however, its admirers claim much. The present position of cricket is well stated, and all who are interested will find their pleasure served and instruction gained by reading this.

In the classics, especially, is there room for grumbling; in history there is less...
...room. The average student will not be so hard pressed that, in despair of learning anything, he aims only to avoid a condition; nor will there be found a man in the whole of any class so stupid or irredeemably lazy that an instructor cannot, by this method, engage somewhat of his interest and attention. Short lessons and clear summaries would do much to make many of our recitation-rooms other than that they are, sleeping-rooms for all who do not expect to be called up. Nor would the professor, it seems to the writer, find the labor...
