DEUTSCHER VEREIN.- Open meeting, Thursday, May 10, at 8 p. m., D. U. Rooms, Palmer street, second door from the corner of Brattle street. Professor Munsterberg will speak on "Thought Transference." All members of German 2, 3, 4, and higher courses are cordially invited...

The sublimities and amenities of outward nature might suffice for William Wordsworth, might for him have almost filled the place of a liberal education; but they elevate, teach and above all console the imaginative and solitary only, and suffice to him who already suffices to himself. The thought of a god vaguely and vaporously dispersed throughout the visible creation, the conjecture of an animating principle that gives to the sunset its splendors, its passion to the storm, to cloud and wind their sympathy of form and movement, that sustains the faith of the crag in its forlorn endurance...

The members of the local Grand Army post would like, if it were quite agreeable to the students, to take part in any observance which shall be made, and it is safe to say that all students would welcome their cooperation. If the observance takes the form of a meeting in Sanders Theatre, we think that it would be better not to have it so long...
