...privilege of voluntary recitations is extending through different departments of the University. The Freshman class at the Bussey Institute has been informed by the Dean that he need not feel obliged to attend all the lectures, and if the hours assigned do not suit him the Faculty will make any reasonable changes. Field work will begin in the spring...
...Senior Class as a whole, not by any one society, and will take place about the middle of December in some private hall in Boston. We cannot but express our pleasure in the matter, and we know that in so doing we echo the sentiments of the College. We feel certain that the gentlemen of the Committee who have so kindly given this permission will have no cause for regret, and will find the privilege in no way abused.

The committee's idea in doing so is to afford the Freshmen a chance of comparing their own records on that day with those of some of the upper classmen. Freshmen are apt to feel some reluctance to enter a race against other men who have been training - as Freshmen erroneously suppose - for some time. This special day's programme should draw forth many of the more timid men, and prepare the winners, at all events, for the following Saturday's competition...
