...JAMES ha??? resumed his course of weekly lectures on Physiology and Hygiene, which proved so valuable last year. They are now given in the lower lecture-room in Sever, which is a great convenience, in avoiding the walk to the Museum, and the bad ventilation of the lecture-room there. The hour chosen, two o'clock on Wednesdays, is perhaps as good a one as the crowded Tabular View could afford. We are glad to mention also Dr. Sargent's informal lectures at the Gymnasium, on the use of apparatus...
...finishing touch to the first, and has never been known to fail. This second cover has, as you see, two holes, which serve as keyholes, the one to wind the watch, the other to turn the hands. To wind the watch, you simply put the key in the lower hole, and, whenever you have any leisure time, wind away. (The mainspring was broken.) You also see the advantage of being able to set the time to suit yourself, by means of the power to turn the hands in the upper hole. These holes serve also as a means of ventilation...

An exceptional case has been brought to the attention of the Committee, where a member of a lower class refused to give up his room for Class Day on the ground that he himself would entertain on that day. Tickets have sometimes been sold at open sale. The Yard is often controlled by a crowd in which the class has no interest. In view of these facts...
...fortunate than Eighty-two in combining good acting with excellent singing, nor can we praise too highly the trouble that has been taken to make these performances a success. The Boat Club is really in need of the money that will be cleared, as the subscriptions have been somewhat lower than usual this year, and the additional expense of running the steam-launch will have to be provided for. The friends of the College, who have shown their interest in the undergraduates by taking tickets, are to be heartily thanked, and it is to be hoped that this custom...
