...already well begun. The resort to Harvard grows more and more national, in spite of the extraordinary multiplication of colleges. It is today less of a Massachusetts university, more of a Middle State and Western State university, than it ever was before. This excellent result your zeal will further. That not only Harvard, but several other strong universities East and West, North and South, should have a truly national representation of the people of the United States, is an object which every patriot must earnestly desire, for in the common character of large bodies of students drawn from the whole...
That Lacrosse is to be an important college game is evident from the rapidity and zeal with which it has been taken up of late. On the 5th of November the college championship is to be played for by four colleges, - Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, and the University of New York.

We hope...
...another column we give all the facts that can be ascertained as to the production of the OEdipus Tyrannus in Sanders Theatre next spring. The University has reason to be proud of the energy and zeal which those immediately interested in it are displaying, and any one who is called upon should not hesitate to second their endeavors. Thus, the training of the chorus will demand some sacrifices on the part of the Glee Club, from which the fifteen of the chorus will presumably be chosen; but they should be glad to forego some of their concerts, if necessary...
