EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: There is probably no institution of Harvard University with which less fault can be found than the gymnasium. But lately there has grown up a grievance there which well deserves the condemnation it receives. I refer to the insufficient supply of hot water in the bath-rooms. I do not know exactly what time the hot water gives out, but I know that no man on the '85 crew has been able to find a drop of warm water for some time, and I believe some of the other crews find things the same way. There...
...illustrated weekly, have appeared. This venture is one that appeals particularly to every Harvard man, as almost all the contributors have been at one time or another connected with the Lampoon. As we turn over the pages we find much to remind us of Lampy, only it is Lampy grown a little older. And if, perhaps, we miss a little of the bloom, it is easy to console ourselves by the thought that there is more strength in place of it. The Spectator, too, is well represented by some of the men whose work in the book of "College Cuts...

They might of course have stepped over the narrow bounds which they have placed upon their sharp criticisms and have reviewed the general run of poetry which appears in the more strictly literary periodicals, but they have spared us fortunately, and only college poets were hauled over the coal. It is noticeable that those whose verses are systematically worst are most noisy in carping and cavilling at the envied superiority of their betters and in disclaiming all partisanship...
...useful list of officers of the university, arranged alphabetically, as well as the usual list on the basis of collegiate seniority, appears for the first time. The chief change to be noticed is the new arrangement of full courses and half courses, a change that has already grown familiar, however, and lost the charm of novelty. The overseers whose terms expire in 1888 are Mayor Green, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., W. G. Russell, Leverett Saltonstall and Moorfield Story, a very imposing array of names. Among officers of instruction the chair of Professor of German remains still empty, alas...
