...four readings from Moliere at Miss Hersey's school on Chestnut street yesterday afternoon. The play was "Le Medecin malgre lui," one of the most celebrated of French farces. In spite of the fact that the name Spanarelle is derived from the Italian, the play is French in every respect. The motive of a son trying to get money out of his father is embodied in "Le Medecin malgre lui," along with other elements of interest that become almost as conventional with Moliere as the plots of Latin comedy grew to be; but the ignorant man who beats his wife...
...second hare and hounds run was held yesterday afternoon and was successful in every respect. The hares were H. A. Davis, '91 and J. D. Gorham, '90.

The names of the vice presidents will be sufficient to create respect for the movement, and the graduate speakers have already made their reputations as exponents of tariff reform. All who are interested in this movement are urged to be present Friday night and give the meeting their support...
...most successful one in the history of the society. It had a membership of sixty, the majority of whom took an active interest in the literary and social advantages offered. A comedy was performed by the members in which they achieved marked success, the performance in every respect being far above the average amateur undertakings...
