...regard to the occupations, or professional destinations of 1226 recent graduates, the survivors of ten classes (1867-1876), as stated in the class reports issued (with one exception) three years after the year of graduation, the following interesting table is given in President Eliot's report: Law, 36 per cent.; medicine, 10 per cent.; theology, 5 per cent.; scientific, 6 per cent.; teaching, 9 per cent.; business, 21 per cent.; unknown and miscellaneous, 13 per cent...
...London paper states that the choruses composed by Dr. G. A. Macfarren for the recent performances in Greek at Cambridge and Eaton of the "Ajax" of Sophocles are in unison throughout, with accompaniment for harp (representing the lyre), and a small orchestra, reinforced by a drum.

Only two pieces, unfortunately, were left complete - the overture and funeral march...

It would seem as though the recent Milwaukee disaster might move even the careless minds of the Harvard corporation to take some precautions in the matter.

We wish, for its own sake, that the Spectator would frankly say whether or not it is an undergraduate publication, for rumors are floating about that it is not, and we are forced to believe they have good foundation...
Another and but recent exchange, of which we can find little but good to say, is the Argo, from Williams. The Athenaeum has indeed a formidable rival, but the greatest good feeling prevails between them. The handsome appearance and clear typography of the Argo alone make it almost a pleasure to read it, but the contents are not behind the press work. We can only hope that continued success may attend Jason and his companions on their long voyage...
