...large Whitehall boat, so familiar to frequenters of the boat-house, is to be immediately refitted for service and once more launched. It will be remembered that this is the boat in which the present vice-president of our Boat Club, with the assistance of Mr. Faulkner, last year heroically rescued from drowning a man whose shell had capsized. The craft will be moored at the float, for the general convenience of the H. U. B. C., and under the careful and experienced attention of the vice-president, it will hereafter be regularly used as a life-boat. This assurance...

Mr. Wiley was very cool...
...facts are these: On Friday evening, the 2d inst., a party of about forty Freshmen visited the Boston Museum to see Evangeline. The witticisms of that extravaganza are only too familiar to the minds of theatre-goers, and they naturally succeeded in eliciting only groans from the ranks of '80. While going down stairs after the play, the Freshmen sang, but this could not have interfered with any one's enjoyment of the music or of the acting. In short, their behavior, although remarkably juvenile, was entirely harmless...
