...Club and the Pierian Sodality will give their first concert of the season at Lyceum Hall, on Tuesday evening, March 25. We learn that the Pierians are playing even better than usual this winter; while, in spite of many obstacles, the Glee Club will, we doubt not, acquit itself well. The Pierians are to play the overture, Le Lac de Fees, by Auber, the Inman Line March, Grafenberger waltzes, minuet by Mozart, solos for the cornet and violoncello, and a piano-forte duet.

The flood of light warms one's very heart...
...College Races for this very reason, that they foster such great rivalry between men for the sake of mere glory. We find it hinted that the time may come when the college authorities will forbid these brutal displays, and that the art of rowing may be sufficiently well cultivated in each college by itself. It is thought, too, that "it the regatta crews could be drawn by lot from the undergraduates, so that the chance of selection would call out a general physical education, the whole aspect of the case would be very different." There is no doubt about...
