...think that such a scheme will promote the cause of general athletics and materially lessen the evils which they imagine arise from intercollegiate contests, we venture to say they will find they are mistaken. It they wish to reduce Harvard University to the level of a boarding school and treat the students as mere striplings, well and good; but we are inclined to think the boarding school would scarcely be as well attended as the liberal university. To be consistent, they should return to the old system of locking the doors of the dormitories at ten o'clock every night...
...only annoying to the instructors, but they are also the cause of much discomfort to every one else in the room. The men who behave thus cannot be aware of the injustice of their conduct, and the one way to suppress such proceedings is for their classmates not to treat the matter so leniently by imputing the disturbances to ignorance and improper training. It is high time that the crudities of the new men have disappeared, and if the atmosphere of the college is not sufficient to bring this to pass, certainly the admonitions of instructors and advice of friends...
...Professor Palmer calculates that almost one-quarter of each class spend between $450 and $650.

The question of Protection is one that is always interesting; but it is peculiarly so at present, when the merits of the doctrines of Free Trade and Protection are to come forward so strongly in the Tariff issue now before the country...
Last evening, Mr. Jewett delivered his second and last lecture in Boylston Hall, taking for his subject "Cairo," which is the capital of Modern Egypt. It is the true city of "The 1001 Nights," for whatever is the origin of these tales they treat of the society of Cairo. The city is situated on a sandy plain near the point of the delta of the Nile and is surrounded by objects of great interest-the Pyramids on the west, the Necropolis of Thebes on the south, and the obelisk marking the site of the ancient Heliopolis on the north...
