UNIVERSAL suffrage has been adopted in Greek 7. The section recently decided, by a two-thirds vote, to read Thucydides instead of Demosthenes during the latter part of the year. A motion to have a cut at the next recitation was adopted by a still larger majority...
...Senior Class Elections are over at last. Although the meeting was a protracted one, there were but few incidents to disturb its harmony, and the result, we may hope, satisfied the class. The demonstrations made at one stage of the proceedings were highly reprehensible; any one section should learn to respect the choice of the majority, and to do otherwise is an insult to the class.

It is a strange thing that at Harvard, the very seat of New England culture, our own noble literature should be neglected, when Boston University has a Shakspere Club, and Cornell a Browning Society. And therefore we wish...
