...college, and recitations in costume by Mr. Edward Fales Coward, '83, now famous as an amateur actor.

In order to make this service a success, it behooves every man who lives in Boston to attend and do his utmost to assist the gentlemen in charge. The chorus will necessarily be much reduced from the one of last Sunday, and every man who can is requested to be present and assist in the singing. This may involve a little self...
