...auspices of the Historical Society on the Civil War, no lectures have met with as much general favor in the college as those now being given on California by Dr. Royce. The capacity of Sever 11 has been taxed to the utmost; and if large audiences continue, it would seem quite advisable that the place for the lectures be changed to Sanders Theatre.

Apart from the fact that it would be very doubtful if the now beautiful Holmes Field would not be injured by the cheap edifice at one end of it, we are sure that the ball nine and the Mott Haven team would much prefer...
