...Jones' announcement that he will undertake an advanced course in elocution is of interest to a considerable number of upper-class men, especially those who entered the Boylston prize speaking last spring. The work of the class is to consist of readings from Shakespeare once a week, (Those who remember the character interpretation of Macbeth in Eng. 9 last year, will appreciate this,) and of public declamations fortnightly. This latter plan of frequent public declamations is an experiment at Harvard, but it has been tried with marked success by at least one other college, and bids fair to yield practical...
...large part of the class of '84 entered the Law School this year. We venture to assert that out of this number fully one half could not hold the interest of a jury of their intellectual inferiors in a speech on any subject of half an hour's length; and that simply because they are lacking in some or all the requisites to speech-making, of a good voice, good enunciation, and a good presence.

...several Harvard organizations depended upon the victories, which had been won, we fear considerable time would have to be devoted to attending funerals. This year the cricket club has started out under more favorable circumstances than for many years. Several very promising players have come in with '88, interest in the game has been aroused, play has begun, and a creditable victory has been won over the Longwood cricket club. This enterprise should be kept up as long as play is possible this fall, and next spring with good management and energetic work there is no reason why Harvard should...
