...study was unremitting on the part of the students, and the memory of Louis Agassiz seemed to keep alive an interest among them, with the desire of working as he would have wished. The Laboratory was hung with sentences from his lips and his writings; not a day passed when his name was not mentioned; and often a student of last year could be heard telling a new-comer of some act of kindness and thoughtfulness on the part of the great teacher...
...Wednesday, July 15, came off promptly. The Freshman race was remarkable for the brilliant spurt of the Princeton men at the finish, which gave them the race over Yale. On the whole, we are inclined to support the action of our Freshmen in not entering for the race. The interest taken in, and the good resulting from it is not sufficient to justify the expense and trouble, which had much better be concentrated on the University crew.

Collins; "The Athenaeum of '77," by S. J. Watson; "The Dramatic Interest," by D. C. McMartin; "The Annuals," by W. R. Morris; "The Literary Interest," by C. F. Thwing; "The Ladies," by F. A. Blandy; "The Chorus," by H. L. Osgood; "The Athenaeum of "76," by F. H. Morgan. The response to "The Dramatic Interest" by Mr. McMartin was particularly happy. To the informal...
