Boston Theatre. - There is a departure from the usual run of entertainments at this theatre. Let all who are fond of a variety entertainment of the best sort, visit the Boston this week. The prices have been lowered from a dollar and a half to a dollar, others in proportion...
Lack of space in these columns has prevented our mentioning before to-day the current number of the Lampoon. The present Lampoon editors have so evidently abandoned the sort of humor, both in illustration and reading matter, that used to appear in their columns, that we find ourselves wondering if the change is for the better, if the editors have shown good taste in departing from the peculiar college humor of former volumes and resorting to humor that is not at all collegiate and is certainly less dignified.

Its novelty, variety, and purposes ought to interest every man in college. The opportunity of seeing, and of showing to one's friends the sort of work that is done in the gymnasium, is an opportunity that should not be disregarded. But the character and value of the meeting aside, to Harvard men there should be a third consideration. The meeting is given as a benefit to the crew, and as such alone deserves not only support...
