...hotel boasted long double balconies on three sides of the house, looking seaward. One evening Bertha and I had been sitting side by side upon the lower balcony rather later than usual; the majority of the guests were within doors. It was bright moonlight, and the sea, scarcely ruffled by the wind, lay like a mirror before us. I suppose I felt a little sentimental - naturally enough...
...election of officers of the class of '81 took place last Monday evening in Lower Boylston, and proved eminently satisfactory. Mr. W. R. Thayer, Chairman of the preliminary Committee, called the meeting to order, and Mr. Seaver read the resolutions drawn up by the Committee. The nomination of Mr. G. A.

The balloting then began for the office of Secretary, and after an informal vote, in which Mr. C. R. Sanger received a large majority, he was elected by acclamation...

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...
...discussion once more. The phase of the complaint which has been developed during the past year is an inclination to growl at the defeats of the Nine, coupled with a refusal to be present at the games, even if played in Cambridge. But there is a step even lower than this; the work of preparation for the annual examinations may render it impossible to attend base-ball games, but no such plea can be urged by the numbers of students who witness the games from the fence of Jarvis Field. A goodly array of familiar faces on the benches does...
