...play, "A Black Sheep," which last season ran three months at that house, and was taken off only because of engagements elsewhere that could not be cancelled. The company is still headed by that bright and clever comedian, Otis Harlan, whose impersonation of Goodrich Mudd, otherwise known as "Hot Stuff," the young man who prefers to remain in Tombstone rather than go to New York and enjoy the fortune bequeathed him, is remembered by playgoers as one of the most delightful performances of the season at the Park. Harlan is unequalled in his line of comedy; his humor is spontaneous...

...unnecessary torture of reading such dreary twaddle. Apart from the fact that they were dull, tiresome, poorly printed, and spelled in the altogether original way the CRIMSON at times affects, they were an insult to the entire college. Not even the CRIMSON has the right to put forth such stuff in the name of this college. The spirit that animated the paper was undoubtedly of the best, but these songs were unmistakably a case of mistaken zeal...
