...chosen at the beginning of the term. Before that time the unsettled state of the organization, and the knowledge that the officers were elected only for the time being, made it impossible for the club to have regular times for rehearsals, and, therefore, precluded the possibility, of its rapid progress. At present there are about thirty or forty candidates for positions on the club. It is designed to make the permanent membership of the club limited to twenty-five men, and during the next few weeks, it will be necessary for several candidates to drop from the organization...

The candidates for pitcher and catcher, the names of whom appeared in a recent issue of the CRIMSON, are doing good work and making marked progress under the skilful instruction of Mr. Clarkson.

...University Catalogue, which will appear today, contains few changes from last year that are worthy of notice. Itgives, however, indications of growth and progress which augur well for Harvard. Not only has the number of students increased in all the departments, (with the exception of a slight decrease in the Veterinary School); but our Scientific School has made a wonderful gain. Under the shadow of Technology, it is difficult to maintain an institution of this character. We are not only holding our own but actually progressing. This impetus can only be accounted for by the recent introduction of new courses...
