...playgoers of Boston are so disunited, so largely unknown personally to each other, that the judgment that they pass upon plays is far from having the weight that should belong ot any expression of opinion based on experience and thought. It is proposed that this club, to consist of such playgoers as shall be invited to join, shall meet from time to time to listen to addresses on dramatic subjects directly suggested by current productions, to discuss the merits and demerits of such performances as may at the time be attracting public attention, and in general to make the best...

Thomas O'Brien, a laborer, was at work in the bottom of the shaft when a large section of the pipe broke loose and fell directly upon his head, injuring him seriously.

No team should be allowed to wear the "H" unless it has the standing in the University which firm establishment and general popularity alone can give it. Without any reflection upon other sports carried on more or less successfully at Harvard, we believe that the members of the football eleven, the crew, the baseball team, and the point winners of the Mott Haven team are the only men who should be accorded the "H." There is good reason for such a restriction. Until...
