...Thayer Club, has the following: "This institution is now run on the hotel plan, and quite a varied bill of fare is furnished every day. Circumstances seem to favor the adoption of the restaurant plan, and that would doubtless be very convenient for most students, and a good thing for the club."

The number of people in the Chapel was very great; but, owing to the good arrangements of the Committee, there was no crowding or confusion, and the perfect silence of the large assembly was a good evidence of its grief for the death of Agassiz, and its earnest wish to pay him the last sad honors...
