...subject; nor, we think, does any man wish to study during the extremely short winter-vacation which is allowed us. But the new arrangement, which makes the Semi-annuals begin on the 21st of January instead of on the 6th or 7th of February, forces us to do one of these two things. Either reviewing must be done before we go home, and left to lie fallow in the holidays, or we must attempt to go over about four months' work, in five or six subjects, in two weeks. The only reason given for the change is that it makes...
...absurd. We should like to inform the Watchman: 1st, that the students of Harvard College have not formed a considerable part of the audiences at the performances of the "Black Crook," as will readily be seen from the fact that it would require great effort on the part of one thousand students to form a "considerable part of the audience," for two weeks, in a theatre that holds about twenty-five hundred persons; 2d, that the basis of fact, which the writer's imagination has distorted into the above statement, is that about one hundred Freshmen attended the "Black Crook...
...only other building which is at all needed at present is a new Law School. This, however, could be built for about $75,000, and the money for it would naturally come from some one more interested in the Law School than Mr. Hastings was.

Before the new building is begun, it is to be hoped that a definite plan (irrespective of existing buildings, if need be) for the buildings of the Yard may be agreed upon...
...Senior Class elections on Monday night were extremely well managed, and the Committee are to be congratulated on the success of their arrangements; for there was no hitch in the proceedings, and the meeting ended several hours earlier than any previous one. It is to be regretted that one section of the class did not sustain the Committee in their efforts to have no society candidates. It was perfectly evident that one society voted as an organized body for single candidates nominated as the candidates of that society. The general tone of the meeting, however, was very free from society...
...cannot too heartily approve the suggestion that the $200,000 of Mr. Hastings's bequest, that the College is required to expend upon a building, be devoted to one for the Fine Arts Department. This department, which is steadily increasing in importance, has hitherto been placed at the greatest disadvantage, as regards lecture-rooms and appliances. While this state of things is to be greatly improved when Sever is finished, an opportunity seems now to be offered for providing an excellent building for the collections of pictures, casts, models, &c., which the College should have. These collections cannot be obtained...
