There are very few cases in which Harvard professors are ever accused of ever acting in any but a fair-minded, liberal way. It would seem, however, from an occurrence the other day that a similar statement could not always be applied to the students. One of the instructors recently told his division that he could not meet it until ten minutes after the hour. At ten and a half minutes past, the class left the recitation room and made no answer to the instructor who came in at that moment and said that he was at the disposal...
There was not a very large audience in Sever last night to greet the Listemann quartet at their first concert. Before the members of the quartet appeared, Prof. Paine announced that Mr. Giese was to take the place of Mr. Jonas, a statement which seemed not altogether unwelcome to the audience. The performance of the different numbers varied greatly in excellence. The Beethoven quartet suffered, apparently, from lack of practice.

...University of Pennsylvania, which formed a boating league consisting of itself only, and finding itself number one at the end of a long series of league contests, declared that it was likewise number one for all the college boating leagues of the country. In regard to the statement that umpires favor larger rather than small colleges in close decisions, we think that a glance at the scores of the past year will convince even the most unreasonable that the larger colleges have not needed such assistance. Dartmouth and Amherst certainly have no reason for complaint on this issue, at least...
