Upon entering the grounds through the driveway, we first passed a pretty stone building called the Lodge, then on the right, the imposing Stone Hall. Music Hall is the next, on the left, and finally we arrived at the College, a fine brick building, imposingly placed on the summit of a steep hill which rises directly from the lake. Entering, we passed through the long hall, and were shown to our dressing room from which we went to the reception, held in the corridor on the second floor. The corridors were filled with members of the Faculty, juniors, and their...

The usual book reviews and short notices, together with the Contributor's Club (which contains a criticism of Mr. Watts's pictures), close this issue. Houghton, Mifflin and Co., Boston...
...drunken ruffian attacked him on Boylston street, at the same time insulting the lady. The student, though much the smaller man, knocked the fellow down, as it happened, into a stairway which led from the street into the celler of a store. The man struck his head against a stone step, was knocked senseless, and, with the aid of a policeman, was sent to the hospital, bleeding copiously from a gash in his head. [Boston Herald...
