Just opposite Boylston Hall there is a pendent sign that informs the star-gazing pedestrian that this is the Harvard Tea-Store; on Brighton Street a year or two ago a black painted board with gilt letters indicated the position of the Harvard Restaurant, and in numerous cigar-stores in the neighboring metropolis conspicuous placards offer to the smoking public the Harvard Cigarette. One of these institutions, the restaurant, deserved the name it bore, but the others have as little claim to the title as those uninteresting concerts that have been given in Boston in past winters under the name...
...MORE than a week ago we received the following letter from a Philadelphia lady. Anticipating an earlier issue of the Crimson, she had sent us her description, as is customary nowadays, beforehand. Unfortunately, an entirely unexplainable circumstance prevented the concert she describes from taking place, although all the arrangements for it had been made, and seven hundred tickets had been sold. But out of respect for our fair correspondent we have concluded, notwithstanding, to print her letter...

...suggestion about University Lectures which was made in the last Advocate is certainly worth the consideration of the Faculty. The failure of these lectures eight years ago ought not to be any objection to trying them again now, as we have become much more of a University since that time. Besides, the lectures which we now desire are of a different character from the former ones. The courses given eight years ago were for the benefit of graduates, and most of them were of a decidedly special character; undergraduates were excluded. The Courses of Study for Bachelors of Arts have...
