...drama, entitled "Felicia, or Woman's Love." Some serious objection has been found to the play because of the rather doubtful character of the plot, which is probably familiar to the reader. Miss Rose Eytinge, who assumes the title role, is an actress of much merit, and in this particular part, her original creation, she is seen to the best advantage...
...about to graduate, the four years spent in Harvard seem very short as we look back upon them, and the query naturally arises, "How much have I accomplished?" The amount of work done may be estimated by one who has pursued a certain course of study with some particular object or profession in view, but to the average student, who has been to college merely for the sake of "getting an education," the question is a hard one to answer.

If Yale has a good crew her papers take particular pains to make us believe that it is a very poor one. In fact, they are willing to do almost anything to put Harvard off her guard, and to inspire her with an overconfidence. Yale correspondents of the public press, however, usually express the true opinion of the students in regard to their athletic prospects with a great deal of accuracy. From...
