Next week's calendar is good reading. The Chapel is to be opened once more, and Mr. Studd will speak Sunday evening on "The Recent Religious Revival in the English and Scotch Universities." Monday evening comes Prof. Briggs' Chaucer reading and the Scientific Seminary. But Tuesday will be the great day of the week, with the lecture by Mr. Charles F. Adams on railroading. That the capabilities of Sever 11 will be taxed to the utmost is not to be doubted. So would the capabilities of Sanders for that matter. We have given up asking why these lectures are given...
...once; - few men would be willing to face the sure contempt of their friends even for forty per cent. A remark I heard lately, made by an upperclassman, is rather a striking illustration of how a good part of the college world looks at these things. He was speaking of the proctors; and he said if they were done away with he thought "a good many nice fellows who cheat now would stop." This man was a gentleman himself, prominent in athletics, and popular in his class, - a very favorable specimen of what outsiders would call the representative Harvard type...

...double honor to have him here before he appears in Boston. His selection was Beethoven's fourth concerto, in G major. Of Mr. Jeseffy's technique, of his remarkable execution and the wonderful ease and clearness with which he overcomes all difficulties, it is hardly necessary to speak. His interpretation of the concerto is individual and displays the same calmness and self-control which is characteristic of his technique. Still, fire and spirit are not wanting, making the performance eminently satisfactory. The cadenzas deserve a word of notice. They are both original, and while the first is not always...
...Calendar, which we publish this morning, contains many attractive features. Greatest interest is felt in the Tuesday lectures on professions, and the announcement that next Tuesday Dr. Edes, is to speak on Medicine will be welcomed. But the reader's enthusiasm is rather dampened when he finds that he has once more to crowd himself into Sever 11. We think it unfortunate that the Natural History Society and Dr. Farnham are to tug with each other for audiences, but suppose that the contest was not to be avoided. With the various seminars and readings the Symphony Concert and the lecture...
