...Smith says: "Its object is, in all cases, to maintain the authority of the master, and, whether he neglects or performs his duty, to oblige the students in all cases to behave to him as if he performed it with the greatest diligence and ability.

HARVARD, 121; YALE, 98.The Harvard Shooting club shot its first match with the Yale Gun club, Saturday afternoon, on the club's grounds at Watertown.

Particular attention is to be paid to the sanitary arrangement, the idea being to have the building the most perfect of its kind in America. The outside will probably be stone, though unless sufficient money is raised, the committee will have to content themselves with brick...
...regular concert of the year at the town hall in Milton. The work of the two clubs was very good. Much the same programme as at the Cambridge concert was followed, and all the songs were heartily received. The Banjo club was at its best. The playing was almost perfect, and the club received an encore for every selection. After the concert a dance was held in the hall...
