...eleven leave this morning for Springfield to play their first championship game away from home. The result of the game with Wesleyan is of course a foregone conclusion, and yet the work of the team will be watched with interest since it may be expected to show at least in some degree our prospects of success during the remainder of the season. The work that has been done in practice has certainly been earnest, the coaching excellent, and if our team win the championship the honor of the victories will belong to the students and graduates alike...
From the advance sheets of Secretary Gilman's annual report of the Society for the Collegiate Education of Women, we are able to give a summary of the work of the society last year. There were 115 students distributed into fifty five classes; and directed by forty-one professors and instructors of Harvard college.

Indeed there is some danger of an Ibsen cult equal to the recent Browning craze. But whatever...
...this early season of the year we are crowded, overwhelmed with examinations and special written work. No sooner is the forensic brief handed in than there comes a thesis due in Philosophy so and so, and an hour examination in almost every course; in short we are surfeited with work, and so unable to do anything satisfactorily. Of course we cannot object to forensics since they are regularly counted as part of our college work, but a word may be said in reference to theses and hour examinations. Conceive them as best one may, the latter are certainly no more...
