Boston Theatre. Shadows of a Great City. The above is a sensational drama of the modern class, though slightly above the average as regards dialogue and stage settings. The situations, though at times absurdly unnatural and forced, display evidence of power in the authors. Miss Tiffany as Biddy Ronan was exceptionally good and received the most applause, and Mr. Edison as Jim Fairon, made a decided hit. Miss Rand is a little inclined to be too "stagey," but on the whole interpreted the dual of Mrs. and Miss Standish in an intelligent manner. Next week Mr. Emmet appears as "Fritz...
...drinks should be standing ready for the august members of the sophomore class at which symposium the freshman hosts should prepare themselves for either use or entertainment. Of course these notices are accompanied with the usual threats in case of their refusal. It may occur to many of our modern student readers to wonder how such conduct could be reconciled with the principles which even in those darkened days must have been present with the perpetrators, and where the boundary-line ran between it and the highway assault and robbery.

We are glad to see that the department of Political Economy is to be conducted next...
...hard work. Spencer well says, "The first requisite for success in life is to be a good animal." Sound health is indispensable to activity, either of the body or of the mind, but it must be remembered that eternal vigilance is the price of health. Under the pressure of modern civilization, the nervous system is now pushing the muscular system into the background, and good health is necessary to beat back the attacks of brain diseases. Man bears a heavy load of inherited diseases, due to the errors, sins, or misfortunes of his ancestors, but a knowledge of hygienic laws...
