Shakspere's London period is one of great literary activity. He was an actor in the Blackfriars Theatre and was engaged in writing and recasting plays.

While as yet no dates have been agreed upon between Yale and Harvard for base ball games, it is probably merely a matter of a few days or a week.

That letter has not yet reached Cambridge, although it is probable that some word will come...
...such a club as this, and the trustees believe that long before the present option of lease expires the membership will more than justify the club in making the proposed lease. The annual dues are fifty dollars for resident members with an initiation fee of the same amount. For non-resident members the fees are one-half the above. The entrance fee and half the dues of the original members are to be paid on the first day of April, and thereafter semi-annually in April and October. All applications for original membership must be sent in to the secretary...
