...forget the Banjo Club of which the university existence is now assured. The only criticism which need be made to the programme as a whole is that it was perhaps somewhat too long. The experiment made by the Pierian is very marked and its work was strong throughout. The advent of the Banjo Club as a co-partner in the work of the concert was highly relished by the audience, if judgment may be made from the prolonged applause which greeted its playing.

Dartmouth and Brown are both anxious to be admitted to the fold of some association. With proper legislation next year and the proper attempt to profit by the weak points of the past season...
...kind, show the social activity that for the moment replaces that of the out-door athletics. The university Chess Club is now in the midst of a tournament for which there were thirty-one entries and which bids fair to result in a close and interesting contest; and a strong competition for the various papers and literary magazines is making itself apparent. The "Banner" for 1886-7 will be ready for sale this week, and will undoubtedly be the most attractive one ever published. One feature of the issue is the cuts of three athletic teams, the champion crew...
