...Professor Child is now giving on Tuesday evenings, and to the Lectures on English Literature which Mr. Perry proposes to begin next week. Both of these gentlemen have been giving courses of lectures in Boston this winter, but it is, of course, impossible for many of us to find time enough to attend a course of lectures in the city. It is therefore very pleasant to have such opportunities brought to our own door, and we sincerely hope that a considerable number of men will take advantage of them. There have been frequent calls for more lectures this year...
...proposed plan of private instruction for young women in Cambridge. The opinion prevails that a way has been found to admit women to Harvard College. Nothing of the kind has been done. Provisions have been made to enable young women to be instructed by Harvard professors: and if in time the number of such students becomes large enough, a second university may be built up at the side of Harvard which will give young women the same college advantages that young men have at present. The plan is a good one, and we hope that it will receive every encouragement...
...that four of last year's men had gone into training, and that some eight hundred pounds avoirdupois had been added to the crew, there was a general sigh of relief.

For three years they have given their time and energy to the crew, and have done much to place the Harvard boat in the high position she now enjoys. We are certain that the hopes and good wishes of the University are with them, and that she is quite content to leave the Harvard boat to them...
...regard for the reputation and prosperity of Harvard, and a desire for her success in the reform methods which she has undertaken to introduce, must have appreciated the responsibility thrown upon his shoulders during this trial-year of a system which relieves him from the slavery and loss of time required by enforced attendance at recitations, and we shall be much surprised if a faithful performance of duty does not justify the confidence which the Faculty has reposed in the class. At all events, this regulation must have a fair trial, and we should like to know by what right...
...season seems to be a favorable one for controversies between college papers. The Courant and Record have wheeled into line after the example of the Era and Review, and are having "a real old-time Greco-Roman with crossed quills." The Courant has in its last issue a pretty severe "rough" on one of the Record editors, and we are waiting with anxiety to see the Record pay back the compliment with interest. Thank Heaven that the Advocate and Crimson can nearly always confine their remarks about each other to their brevity columns...
