...occasion would do Harvard an immense amount of harm. The audience will be a very cultured one, assembled out of admiration for the highest artistic talent of the stage, and the spirit of gentlemanliness will never be more called for. The occasion will be unique and delightful,- one whose memory will long remain with us. Not even the rashest among us can fail to see how very unfortunate it would be if such an occasion should be marred in even the slightest way. Every act must be in harmony with Mr. Irving's own spirit...
...thought that this training would be all theoretical-that the only way for a man to learn the art of teaching was to practice it. But a man whose time is engaged in teaching a special subject is too much taken up with that to think about methods and general principles.

Miss Marlowe disappointed many of her admirers, in "The Love Chase," but Miss Drew, as Widow Green, made...
...wish to protest against the continuance of a long standing abuse of college athletics. The so-called sparring matches held in years past at Cambridge have as a rule been mere exhibitions of unscientific, brutal "slugging," degrading to the participants and spectators and disgraceful to the association under whose auspices they have been held. Contents into which athletes enter "for blood" and not infrequently come out wearing the laurels of a "knock out," are unworthy of recognition as legitimate sports, and deserve the condemnation of friends of college athletics...
