...manifested last year in the hitherto much neglected study of Elocution. The Faculty should hasten to supply the place of Professor Baxter by some one who will keep alive that interest, as the work in this department is too much for any one man to do alone. We would suggest that Sanders Theatre be used for a recitation-room in this subject during the year, as well as for the rehearsals of the competitors for the Boylston prizes. This would necessitate keeping it heated during the winter, but it certainly would be worth while to do so on account...
...what I would suggest is, that the Faculty in future omit recitations during three or four days or even a week before the examinations begin, thereby giving ample time of preparation for all. This is not perhaps the best plan, but under the present system I see no other solution of the question...

Let it hold a meeting on Holmes Field (where a very good fifth-mile track can be made) on May 15; let the winners of the mile-run, mile-walk, quarter-mile, half-mile, hurdles, and 100-yards be sent to Mott Haven on condition of their beating a certain...
