...understand that the leader of the brass band is having no little difficulty in getting the men in the band together for practice. The college depends on the band, not, to be sure, for the winning of some new championship from Yale, but rather for some good outdoor concerts later in the spring. The band too is an organization which is destined materially to help Harvard's reputation for musical ability. We hope therefore that in neither of these particulars, enjoyment or reputation, the college is to be disappointed. A little practice now on the part of the members...
...already, we believe, played the Brown freshmen. A freshman nine from Amherst has not appeared at Harvard for several years, although several very strong teams have been put in the field by the Amherst freshmen.

Waiving the objection, although it can apply with equal force to some courses already in the curriculum, we think that...
...Professor Thompson of the University of Pennsylvania, when that gentleman gave his lectures on Protection; and it is to be presumed that the lectures on free trade will be equally interesting, both from the ability of the lecturer and from the nature of the subject. The faculty, however, we understand, are not to blame for the delay in bringing Mr. Godkin before us. They have been endeavoring to make the arrangements, but on account of the many engagements of the gentleman in question no date has yet been fixed. We hope that in time these effords will prove successful...
