...Harvard editor again smiles grimly as he reads, in one exchange after another, the periodical item in which is set forth the fact that editorial life at Cambridge is made bright and happy by exemption from the theme and forensic work which is exacted from his less fortunate undergraduate brethren. But is it not, after all, a pleasing little fiction? What can seem more natural than that the student who, from his position on a paper, is obliged to do tenfold the amount of writing required from his more fortunate fellows, should have his labors lightened somewhat by a regulation...
...programme was an excellent one being bright and taking, and of interest throughout.

...alumni class associations have already given liberal sums and contributions have been received from several other quarters. The undergraduates have also been asked to help in furthering this good work and it is expected that a considerable amount will be raised in this way. Altogether, the prospects are bright for a good gymnasium but the college will have to wait two or three years before it is completed...
