...Harvard, the University Boat Club and the Freshman Boat Club are distinct organizations; neither has any right of control over the other; at a meeting of neither can business be transacted binding the other; neither is responsible for the debts of the other. It is admitted that the Freshman race will be under the control of the Regatta Committee; it is also true that in general the officers of the U. B. C. often advise the members of the Freshman crew, and make arrangements for their training and races; but these things are done by tacit consent...

...beware how he ventures to assume this character, if it is not inborn. It is not an easy part to assume, and all labor will be in vain unless there exist a priori some natural adaptation for it. One must learn to have perfect control of himself, his watchfulness must never relax; for one little word, one involuntary smile, may destroy a reputation which it has taken years to acquire.

...Mackintosh's make-up as Lady Allcash was a triumph for Mr. Rothe and Mrs. Wilson, and in his duets with Fra Diavolo and Lord Allcash (Mr. Simmons) he obtained encores. The other characters were excellently done, and the chorus when on the stage refrained with admirable self-control from getting up to the foot-lights and monopolizing the acting, - a prevalent fault among amateur "supers...

...know that boys and girls find ways of circumventing their teachers; does any one suppose that young men and women do not? To us it seems that, if women come to Harvard, the true policy of the College will be teaching, pure and simple, without any laws to control the students outside the class-room. Then it will be expedient that the dormitory system shall be entirely abolished, and instead students will room and board at private houses, as they do in German university towns. If so radical a change as this is really necessary, Mr. Eliot may well hesitate...
