...seem to have come to feel that the executive committee is alone responsible for the success of the meetings, and that they do their part if they attend the meetings and find fault if anything goes wrong. Unquestionably the executive committee is especially responsible; the members realize this fact and will do their utmost to make the meetings good...
DEAR SIRS.- Although fault is seldom found nowadays with the programme of a symphony concert on account of its brevity, the prevailing tendency of the programs being rather the other way, I think many of the music lovers present at the beautiful concert on Thursday evening in Sanders theatre will regret that the cello selection played by Mr. Hekking under the simple title "Melodie," by Mathuet, was not more fully described, when they hear that the real title of the piece is "Electra's Invocation." It is part of the melo-drama music written by Mathuet to accompany Leconte...
...average college graduate is 26 years old when he takes his degree at the Law School, and then has his apprenticeship or clerkship of intermediate length before he can practice for himself.

He cannot understand why the recent gains of Yale over Harvard with respect to western men should be called accidental. Taking the Advocate's figures between 1878 and 1886, you will find that the number of men at Harvard from the west rose from 191 to 348-a gain of 157, while the number of such men at Yale increased from 288 to 410-a gain of 122. Perhaps the writer is not aware that Yale has made its extraordinary growth during...
