...first lecture in the course under the auspices of the Finance Club will be given by Col. T. W. Higginson next Tuesday evening, in Boylston Hall. Subject: "Young Men in Politics...

Mr. Arthur Gilman gives the origin of the Annex, and Professor N. S. Shaler a short account of the Natural History Society, while Dr. D. A. Sargent replies to recent criticism on the Hemenway Gymnasium...
