...play was brought out at this theatre last week entitled "The New Magdalen." It is a dramatization by Wilkie Collins of his novel bearing the same name, but differs essentially from the novel in its conclusion, and was written expressly for Miss Leclercq. The plot is interesting and exciting throughout, although we must confess it weakens perceptibly during the long speeches, moral and sentimental, of the unclerical parson Vivian Gray. The character of Mercy Merrick gives Miss Leclercq an opportunity to display her magnificent dramatic powers. Her story is that of a young woman making every effort against the prejudices...
...filled with a large and appreciative audience to witness the performance of the "Cup of Tea," and "Fra Diavolo, by members of the II H Society.

...Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. From casual remarks, we gather that whist is a game which is not enjoyed there. Pillow fights are preferred. But even these grow monotonous to the high-spirited Freshmen, and on the afternoon from which the tale dates, we learn that, having stationed watchmen throughout the entries of their building, some Freshmen were indulging in a quadrille. Such an innocent sport is not allowed, however, by the Yale Faculty. It tends directly to worse vices. A step is heard in the entry, and every man is in a trice hidden. After this, we shall never...
