...another column we give all the facts that can be ascertained as to the production of the OEdipus Tyrannus in Sanders Theatre next spring. The University has reason to be proud of the energy and zeal which those immediately interested in it are displaying, and any one who is called upon should not hesitate to second their endeavors. Thus, the training of the chorus will demand some sacrifices on the part of the Glee Club, from which the fifteen of the chorus will presumably be chosen; but they should be glad to forego some of their concerts, if necessary...
...call attention to an article in another column in which a contributor discusses the advisability of the Freshmen rowing races with other Freshmen crews. The writer seems to us to prove successfully that the advantages of such races do not offset the expense incurred in carrying them out, and that now that class races afford ample opportunity for initiating Freshmen in rowing, the necessity of meeting outsiders for the purpose of practice in racing is almost wholly done away with.

There is plenty of time for training, and this is a most excellent opportunity for those of our athletes who were disappointed in not having a meeting on Jarvis this fall, to keep in practice...
...publish in another column a letter from a correspondent concerning a recent editorial article in the Harvard Echo, - a letter which we do not think is open to the charge of misrepresentation or malicious exaggeration. The Echo has a perfect right to criticise, in a courteous manner, any line of conduct that seems unjust; but it has no right whatsoever to insult an instructor who may have displeased some portion of the men in his elective. Both the matter and the spirit of the article in question call for the severest reproof from all who have any desire that...
