Great credit is due to the marshals, Mr. Thayer, Mr. Bancroft, and Mr. William Otis, for the able way in which they performed their duties. The Class-Day Committee deserve the praise of the college as well as of the class for the completeness of their arrangements, and for the smoothness and precision with which these arrangements were carried out. Mr. Teschemacher deserves especial mention for the energy and the executive ability he has shown in his onerous office. In concluding our notice of this Class Day we can only wish '79 as successful...

I must not praise it as if I had carefully studied all its details, but I am disposed to be something more than pleased to see so compact, so well-filled, so handsomely presented a manual for the use of the stranger in the University city, - one too which the native of the town will find to contain much that he has forgotten and not a little which...
