...Iolanthe" at the Globe Theatre began Monday night. The performance has gained somewhat in smoothness during the past week. The orchestra still persists in drowning the voices of the choruses, however; this is especially in the first act, where the enjoyment of the opera is often seriously marred in this way. Miss Palliser continues to carry off the honors of the presentation. Her interpolated songs, and the queen's song with the chorus and the quartette in the second act are the numbers received with most favor by the audience...
...strong contrast with Harvard's. Harvard's errors were inexcusable but they seemed more the result of nervousness than anything else. Her batting was by no means as weak as the score would indicate. Only four men struck out, and they hit the ball as hard and as often as Yale, but directly into the fielders' hands.

The paper showed that a great amount of labor must have been spent on the investigation, as individual instances of elision, pronunciation or suppression were tabulated...

On the contrary he is a reformer, a preacher of righteousness, a man of affairs, concerned with the present, and rarely, if ever, looking to the future except to draw thence new arguments for in fluencing...
...best looking of the class crews. The freshmen and juniors have the heaviest and strongest men, especially the juniors. The freshmen have improved greatly lately, but were somewhat hampered some weeks ago by the lack of a suitable boat. They are not sure of their boat, and often strike the water with their oars. The juniors have been decided favorites for some time. Though their body-work is not all it should be, nor their watermanship clean, they often row a powerful stroke...
