...Boston paper, a distortion of a little class incident, a pleasant one in itself, which occurred early in the week. Every man present who knew the circumstances heartily sympathized with the professor, and had a word of disgust for the man who would, evidently from motives of petty spite or to get a few dollars for "news," lend himself to such a contemptible piece of work...
...spite of the unfavorable weather a good number of marksmen assembled at the Watertown range yesterday. This was the third and last shoot in the matches which have been running during the past three weeks. The shooting in these matches, including the freshman match was remarkably good. In match B, Mead and Slocum tied with scores of 19 out of 20. The leading scores in yesterday's shoot were as follows: Match A (doubles), F. B. Austin, 9; Palmer, 6; Mead, 5. Match B.

The career of this famous French statesmen, who has been prominent for so many years, is shown to be most interesting. Mr. Berenson writes a criticism of the comedy, The Revisor, by the Russian author Gogol...
...Herrick, are more musical and better tuned. They cannot fail to stir a genuine lover of Herrick. Mr. A. B. Houghton's Ballad of Pleasure Seekers, though far above the average of college verse, is not, we think, quite up to the standard of his former work, in spite of a number of lines more than ordinarily good. It is likely that many will object to the gloomy sentiment of this poem. Yet if an optimist will kindly grant that verse pessimistic in tone is justifiable, he must acknowledge that Mr. Houghton's Ballad has not only strength but unusually...
