...Sanders Theatre, if, as the prospectus states, a sufficient number of subscriptions can be obtained. We sincerely hope that all will respond heartily to this appeal, and lose no time in going to Sever's to secure their seats. The proportion of students among the audience the last two years has been smaller than one would expect. Is it not a comment on our musical taste that a good classical concert but a few steps off attracts such a mere sprinkling of students, while the songs of the seductive Soldene draw full houses of Harvard men in town? Lovers...
...college were on the train, and had a marvellous escape from death. They were all in the English coach, which was wrecked completely, but none of them were injured. One of the gentlemen was sitting side by side with a man who was killed instantly. The other two were sitting so near each other that there was just room enough for an iron beam, that broke through the side of the car, to pass between them without striking either of them. Such a miraculous preservation of life, accompanied with the sudden death of the unfortunate people who had gone...
...possible to use eight-oared shells for the fall races? We believe that there are now some five or six such shells on the rests at the boat-house, which might be made available in such a race.

In this connection we will say that we offer a cup for a handicap race to come off whenever the track on Jarvis is ready, and to be a distance of two-mile heats, best 2 in 3, with a proviso that seven...
...stated in the last Advocate that all Sophomores and some twenty-five Juniors had been excluded from Philosophy 6. In the case of Sophomores this is not such a hardship, as they have still two years more in which to take the two courses, if they desire to do so; but it seems to me that it is an act of injustice to prevent any Junior from electing it. It is acknowledged that this course is one of the most important that is given, and it is certainly very hard to have to put it off until the Senior year...
