...sleep one afternoon and gave me this dream. I have been able to trace most of it to the influence of metaphysics. It seemed to be February again, and our instructor had told us to procure tickets at the bookstore for a series of lectures three times a week for the rest of the year on the "Manly Art of Self-Defence," by Professor W. Hamilton, of England. It was a rare chance to procure scientific knowledge of the subject; and Lister at $20 a dozen lessons was nowhere. The lecture-room had a raised platform...
...boats; they will erect a grand stand near the finish of the race; provide boat-houses for the crews; furnish prizes for the winners; and give a grand Regatta Ball, which they promise shall excel, in decorations and music, anything ever seen in Springfield. Every prospect for an exciting week is most encouraging. Every college reports a good crew in training. The Freshman Ball Tournament will last a week. The city will be crowded with students from twelve colleges, and, to crown all, there will be the magnificent Ball. The least we can do is to go to the Regatta...
...play was brought out at this theatre last week entitled "The New Magdalen." It is a dramatization by Wilkie Collins of his novel bearing the same name, but differs essentially from the novel in its conclusion, and was written expressly for Miss Leclercq.

The whole entertainment passed off smoothly, and without the embarrassing hitches which often occur in amateur theatricals. The comedietta was played with spirit throughout, Mr. French as Sir Charles, Mr. Simmons as the British footman, and Mr. Mackintosh as Lady Clara, all making the most of their parts, without overacting, while Mr. Nason's Scroggins was the best piece of farce-acting...
...readers will remember that the first game of the match between Harvard and Yale takes place at New Haven one week from to-morrow. About twenty men have agreed to take the half-fare tickets, should they be provided. We hope that every student who is able to do so will accompany our Nine to Yale. Hearty encouragement from a crowd of fellow-students will help our men far towards victory; besides which a good game may be expected, as both clubs are in excellent practice...
