Last night the Freshman Glee and Banjo clubs gave their last regular concert of the year at the town hall in Milton. The work of the two clubs was very good. Much the same programme as at the Cambridge concert was followed, and all the songs were heartily received. The Banjo club was at its best. The playing was almost perfect, and the club received an encore for every selection. After the concert a dance was held in the hall...

Although but a short notice of the lecture could be given, the large lecture-room of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory was completely filled by an audience which followed with the greatest interest the fascinating recital of the remarkable experiences of Professor Lumholtz among the cannibal aborigines of Australia. The lecture was unusually long, but the attention of the audience was held throughout. The interest...
