WILL I take a ticket to the Philosophical Club's Chamber Concerts on Physiology, - "a subject at once useful and interesting"? No! I won't take a ticket, and I won't let any one else, and I'm going to prosecute you and the Philosophical Club and the Rum Club and the Society of Naturals. It's shameful that such organizations should exist! They drive me crazy! I've been to readings, concerts, lectures, and consultations in Sever, Harvard, Boylston, and University for five months now, and the end must be near. What man has done...
...Philosoph -? As Cromwell remarked at the battle of Bull Run, "This is a crowning mercy." Revenge is sweet! Verily, the spoiler is spoilt, the fowler snared in his own net. But no - soft you now!

...afford to spend $500, or even more, as, indeed, most of those going for a summer think necessary.

Although you may occasionally have a seat when going in, you certainly haven't the sang-froid to expect one on coming out. If you think of coming out directly after the theatre, you find nothing but $ 75 bonnets and opera hats bobbing around in the car, and to get a footing on the front platform is more than most men expect. In the eleven o'clock car, filled...
...manner in which College meetings have been held this autumn, and many of the students are far from approving the spirit which has crept into them. The plan of calling a meeting of the College where the election of officers is supposed to be open, and running through a ticket already prepared, by means of a nominating committee already instructed, cannot be too highly censured. It is foreign to the very purpose of an open meeting, and to the present spirit of Harvard, where fair play is deemed the first principle of action; and that it should have succeeded...
