...Senior Class Theatricals will take place on the evenings of December 12 and 13 and on the afternoon of December 14, at Union Hall, Boylston Street, Boston. There will be two changes of programme in the three performances. The Glee Club have kindly consented to sing between the acts on each evening...
...reflection upon him, but is not sustained by an examination of the subjects. That they are subjects which cannot be written upon without some knowledge and thought is evident, but that this should be urged as an objection against them seems nonsensical.

Perhaps it should have been measured farther out, and we shall take steps to settle this point at once, and if the measurement is wrong, it will be rectified in the early spring. We regret extremely that any such mistake, if mistake it prove to be, should have occurred, but men seem to forget that fast time cannot be made on any track...
