...keep sober, but if we would make headway against our opponents or even hold our own sufficiently to command their respect, we must do more. We must work. This spirit is spreading all over the country, and is especially growing strong towards the West. Thousands of dollars are spent annually to carry elections in the interest of liquor men, and on almost every corner discussions of temperance questions arise, the warmth of which reminds one of the old slavery wrangles in ante vellum days. Various laws are now presented in the different states, some tending to protect the business...
...four years are given as follows: Freshman year, $863; sophomore year, $903; junior year, $994; senior year, $1,007, making the total average for the whole course $3,706, or a yearly average of $941.

When one has toiled over a hard examination in the morning, when one has spent the hot afternoon in a wearing grind, when the mind has been afflicted with these evils and the body with Memorial hash, when, despite all this, one settles down for some more hard and wearing work in the evening, then those well-meaning individuals who get up a lively nocturnal entertainment certainly deserve the heartfelt praise and gratitude...
...concert by the Glee Club and Pierian, announced for Friday evening, promises to be one of more than ordinary interest. A programme of unusual novelty and merit has been prepared, and both organizations have spent a long time in rehearsing. The chief feature of the programme is a "Tragic Cantata," entitled "The Grasshopper," to be given by the Glee Club, accompanied by the Pierian. This cantata was recently given at the Grand Opera House in Baltimore with great success, but has never been heard in Boston. The Glee Club also have some new college songs, which they intend to sing...
