...meeting of the Conference Francaise Mr. Sanderson will give an informal talk on Le Masque de Fer. Following this Prof. Cohn will read the second play which is to be given by the society in May, L'Affair de la Rue de la Lourcine. This comedy or rather farce, is one of the brightest of the small pieces written by Labiche, and if well put on cannot but be a success. There are five principal characters so it will need quite a number of men to make it a success. All who can should go tonight to hear...
...take between the contestants, J. L. Dodge, '91, and P. Marquand, '89. The first round was very nearly even. Dodge seemed to have a slight advantage in the second. The third round was blow for blow again, and neither man guarded as well as before. Dodge again sparred rather the better, but the bout was so close that the referee decided another round of two minutes necessary. Both men were tired, and rained blows on each other's faces. Dodge got in several undercuts and seemed to have the best of it, but the referee called for another round after...

...Leavitt and Pierce's to witness the opening of the pool tournament. Two rounds were played, Wynne and Crane, Mastin and Crowninshield. The first three games were won by Wynne, but Crane, picking up, won the next five, securing the match.

On the whole, play was good, each contestant making brilliant shots. The next matches will be played to night at the same time, 10 p. m. Bell and Wildes...
...leaving the ground, we take this early opportunity of urging all to be careful not to walk on the edges of paths, which intersect the college yard. Last spring no such warning was given and the result was that towards the end of April the yard presented a rather wild appearance: corners were trodden down, edges were worn off, whole plots of grass had disappeared. The college authorities naturally saw themselves compelled to restore the yard to its usual well kept condition, but this fact should not be cause for unnecessary vandalism...
